I love creating simple bracelets that have symmetry created using different elements. In this case, I chose faceted crystal rondelles, wavy disc spacers and glass beads to create a piece that will go with anything and everything!
Shanna Steele, Aunties Beads Designer
Instructions:
- Cut a piece of beading wire measuring about 10".
- Toward one end of your beading wire, string a crimp bead. Run the wire through half of the toggle then back down through the crimp bead. Crimp. Apply crimp cover.
- String a 6mm glass bead, a wavy disc, a crystal rondelle and a wavy disc.
- Repeat step 3 nine more times. You should have used a total of 10 rondelles and 10 6mm glass beads.
- String a 6mm glass bead followed by a crimp bead. Run your wire through the other half of the toggle then back down through the crimp bead and 6mm glass bead. Crimp. Apply crimp cover. Cut excess wire.
- Open a jump ring. Attach it to your heart charm then to the loop on the ring portion of the toggle. Close the jump ring.
