Mermaid Memories Bracelet
This aqua bracelet made on our Remembrance bracelet memory wire
will remind you of a mermaid! Round and round we have wound our aqua
Czech druks and our aqua Czech crystals, along with our indicolite Swarovski
crystal beads and silver plated rounds. Dangling around it all are
our mint Czech crystals. It is so simple yet so lovely. If
you make it as shown you will use all the beads.

Directions:
To make the drops:
Step 1. On each of the Head Pins place
a Mint Crystal. Using flat nose pliers, bend the wire 90°. Using a
Wire Cutter, cut off the excess Head Pin, leaving approximately 3/16".
Using Round Nose Pliers, carefully bend the 3/16" piece of wire into a
loop and close it tightly.
Step 2. Twist open a Jump Ring and place
the Mint Crystal drop onto the Jump Ring and twist the Jump Ring closed.
Repeat for all the drops. Set aside.
To assemble the bracelet:
Step 1. Cut approximately 5 loops of Wire.
Step 2. With your Flat Nose Pliers, bend
one end of the wire into a loop.
Step 3. String 1 S/P Round, 1 Indicolite
Crystal, 1 S/P Round, 1 Aqua Crystal, 1 S/P Round, 1 Indicolite Crystal,
1 S/P Round, 1 Mint Drop and 1 Aqua Druk. Continue this pattern until
you use all of your beads.
Step 4. Snug up your beads and cut any
excess Wire with your Memory Wire Cutters, leaving about 3/16” piece of
Wire. With your Flat Nose Pliers, bend the end of the Wire into a
loop. Finished! Enjoy!
