For All Eternity Bracelet
I have been a huge fan of these eternity links for a while now and have created several different styles of earrings and several different necklace designs. I decided to try my hand at making a beautiful bracelet using the links and I must say that I love the result!

1. Cut 3 separate pieces of wire measuring about 4 inches each. Make a loop toward the end of one piece of wire. Attach the loop to a large eternity link. Wrap the wire and trim the excess. Add your bead cap, twist bead, and another bead cap to the wire. Make a loop. Attach the loop to another large eternity link. Wrap the wire and trim the excess.
