instructions
-
Pacific Splash Bracelet - 1. Slightly open the “eye” of one eyepin. Hook the end link of the chain onto it. Tie the end of each colour of beading silk around the “eye” also. You may find it easier to close the eyepin each time you tie the knots. Leave as little end waste as possible.
2. Apply a tiny amount of glue to knot to secure. Trim close to knot. Close “eye”.
3. Insert eyepin into wide end of cone. Pull up as tightly as you can so that the knots are not visible. Bend over the eyepin by 90 degrees. Then trim to 7mm and turn into a loop. Before fully closing the loop slip on one half of the magnetic clasp.
4. Hold the chain and beading silks together. Tie all 3 into an overhand knot about 1cm from the cone. Thread a silver foil bead onto the chain. Bring lengths together again and tie another knot.
5.Thread 3 bicones onto the yellow silk. Bring lengths together and tie another knot.
6. Thread an aqua round a smartie an aqua round and a smartie on the blue silk. Bring lengths together and tie another knot
7.Thread a silver foil bead onto the chain. Bring lengths together and tie another knot.
8. Thread 3 bicones onto the yellow silk. Do not tie knot.
9. Attach the silks and chain to the other eyepin as in steps 1 and 2. To achieve the correct length try it threaded through the cone before you cut the ends off.
10. Turn a loop and attach the clasp as in step 3.
11. Make 12 dangles with your remaining small beads as follows – slip one bead onto a headpin and turn into a loop as in step 3.
12. Make a dangle using the silver foil bead, putting a 4mm spacer bead either side of it. Turn into a loop as in step 3.
13. Open a jump ring and slip it through part of the middle knot. Before closing hang on the silver foil dangle.
14. Insert the other 4 jump rings in the other knots hanging 3 dangles on each. Close them as you go along.
