Directions:
Ankle Bracelet Directions:
Step 1: Onto
a head pin place a 3mm Round, Heishi, Star, Heishi, Round and a crystal.
Using flat nose pliers, bend the piece of wire 90°. Using a wire cutter,
cut off the excess head pin leaving approximately 3/16". Carefully bend
the 3/16" piece of wire into a loop and attach to the smaller circle on
the round part of your toggle. Close it tightly.
Step 2: Cut
a 12" piece of SoftFlex. String SoftFlex through one crimp bead,
loop through the part of clasp that you just placed your head pin onto,
then back through the crimp bead. Using a crimp tool, crush the crimp bead
and trim the end.
Step 3: String
the following beads:
Crystal, Cube, Round, Cube, Round, Cube, Crystal,
Heishi, Star, Heishi.
Step 4: Repeat
this 5 times, leaving out the last Heishi, Star, and Heishi, ending with
a crimp bead.
Step 5: Loop
through the toggle part of clasp, and back through the crimp bead, crush
crimp and trim end. Finished length is approximately 10 inches.
Earring Directions:
Step 1: Repeat
Step 1 from the Anklet to make 2 dangles.
Step 2: Cut
a 4" piece of SoftFlex.
Step 3: String
the following beads:
Round, Crystal, Cube, Cube, Crystal, Round, loop
of the dangle from Step 1, Round, Crystal, Cube, Cube, Crystal, Round.
Step 4: String
both ends of Beadalon through one crimp bead and crush the crimp and trim
the ends. (Note that the crimp bead needs to be crimped small and tight
for the next step.)
Step 5: Open
the loop of the ear wire and string the dangle by allowing the crimp bead
to sit within the loop. (If you need to adjust the size of your crimp
bead, crimp tighter to allow it to dangle freely.) Close the loop of your
earring. Repeat for the other earring. Enjoy!
