Pearl and Crystal Bracelet You will not believe how beautiful
this bracelet is once you have finished it. Made with our Swarovski
pearls and crystals along with our very pretty Bali bead caps, it is just
stunning! This can be a fabulous gift for someone special, or a wonderful
treat for yourself. It measures 7 1/8 inches in length. Each
pearl section (pattern) measures approximately 7/8 inch, so you can
make it larger or smaller by adding or subtracting a section. You
have enough material to make it slightly larger than 8 1/2 inches.

Directions:
Step 1: Cut the SoftFlex
to 2-4 inches larger than the desired size of the bracelet.
Step 2: String SoftFlex through
a crimp bead and one end of the clasp (be sure to separate the two ends
of the clasp) and then double back through the crimp bead. Crush
the crimp bead and trim excess SoftFlex.
Step 3: String the beads
in the following pattern: One Bali spacer bead, 1 Bali bead cap,
1 Swarovski Pearl, 1 Bali bead cap, 1 Bali spacer, and 1 Swarovski Crystal.
Repeat this pattern 5 times for a 7 inch bracelet. If you would like
to lengthen the bracelet, remember that each pearl and bead cap section
measures approximately 1/2 inch.
Step 4: String one Bali spacer,
one Bali bead cap, one Swarovski Pearl, and one Bali bead cap.
Step 5: Repeat Step 2, using the
other end of the clasp.
Step 6: Now place the crimp covers
on each crimp bead. With the crimp bead in the center of the cover,
close the cover with a flat nose plier. You are finished! Enjoy!
