Rosy Three Strand Bracelet
We have made this pretty bracelet with
our alluring and sparkly Swarovski crystals in both fuchsia and rose.
The crystals are accented with peachy pink seed beads with an AB finish.
The combination is truly delightful. The finished length is approximately
6 3/4 inches. There will be a few crystals left to increase the length
if needed.

Directions:
Step 1.
Cut 3 strands of SoftFlex, about 9 inches each for our finished length.
If you would like this bracelet to be a bit longer, cut more.
Step 2. On
each of two strands of SoftFlex string, one 4mm Fuchsia Crystal and 10
Seed Beads. Repeat this pattern for each of the two strands 7 more
times, ending with a 4mm Fuchsia Crystal. Set aside. These are strands
A & C.
Step 3.
On the remaining strand, string, 2 Seed Beads.
Step 4.
Now string, one 3mm Fuchsia Crystal, 1 Heishi, one 6mm Rose Crystal, 1
Heishi, one 3mm Fuchsia Crystal and 3 Seed Beads. Repeat this pattern
(Step 4) 7 more times.
Step 5.
String one 3mm Fuchsia Crystal, 1 Heishi, one 6mm Rose Crystal, 1 Heishi,
one 3mm Fuchsia Crystal, and 2 Seed Beads. This is strand B and will be
somewhat longer than the strands A & C.
Step 6.
On the end of strand A, string SoftFlex through 1 Crimp Bead, then through
the end loop of one side of the Clasp and then back through the Crimp Bead.
Snug up Crimp Bead to the Clasp and crush the Crimp Bead. Cut off excess
or thread through beads. Repeat for the other side of Clasp. It may
be easier to keep the Clasp Closed to do this.
Step 7.
Repeat Step 6 for strand B, using the center loop of the Clasp.
Step 8.
Repeat Step 6 for strand C, using the last end loop of the Clasp.
Step 9.
Place the Crimp Covers over the Crimps and close gently with your Flat
Nose Pliers. Enjoy!
