Dreamcatcher Bangle Bracelet
Bangles are in this season, so why not create one of your very
own with playful beads dancing around! You will love the way this
bangle idea shines and sparkles. The beads we used are a shimmering
mix of Czech crystals and pearls with silver accents. We also carry
these versatile bangles in gold if that is your preference. You will
have leftover beads and findings if you would like to add even more beads
to our design!

Directions: All the
drops are made first and then you'll assemble the bracelet.
Step 1. Onto each of four Head Pins place the following:
a Light Sapphire Crystal, a S/P Round, and a Light Sapphire Crystal. Using
a Side Cutter, cut off the excess eye pin of each Head Pin leaving approximately
3/16. Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend each 3/16 piece of wire 90 degrees.
Then, with the Round Nose Pliers, carefully bend each 3/16 piece of wire
into a loop, but do not close tightly. Set aside.
Step 2. Onto each of four Head Pins, place the following:
a Clear Crystal, a Bali Spacer, and a Light Sapphire Pearl. Using a Side
Cutter, cut off the excess eye pin of each Head Pin leaving approximately
3/16. Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend each 3/16 piece of wire 90 degrees.
Then, with the Round Nose Pliers, carefully bend each 3/16 piece of wire
into a loop, but do not close tightly. Set aside.
Step 3. Onto each of four Head Pins, place the following:
a S/P Round, a Creme Pearl, and a S/P Round. Using a Side Cutter, cut off
the excess eye pin of each Head Pin leaving approximately 3/16.
Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend each 3/16 piece of wire 90 degrees.
Then, with the Round Nose Pliers, carefully bend each 3/16 piece of wire
into a loop, but do not close tightly. Set aside.
Step 4. Onto 8 Head Pins, place a Clear Crystal. Onto 4
Head Pins, place a Creme Pearl. Onto 4 Head Pins, place a Baby Blue
Pearl. Repeat with these Head Pins what has been done with the beaded
Head Pins in Steps 1, 2, and 3.
Step 5. Onto the Bangle, place your beaded Head Pins in the following
pattern, closing the loops tightly in doing so:
Through the first loop of the Bangle place a Head Pin with a Clear Crystal
and through a second loop of the Bangle place a Head Pin with a Light Sapphire
Crystal, a S/P Round, and a Light Sapphire Crystal. Next to this
second loop place a Head Pin with a Creme Pearl around the Bangle itself,
then do the same with a Head Pin with a Baby Blue Pearl. Onto the
3rd loop of the Bangle place a Head Pin with a Clear Crystal. Onto
the Bangle itself, place a Head Pin with a S/P Round, a Creme Pearl, and
a S/P Round. Lastly, onto the 4th loop of the Bangle, place a Head
Pin with a Clear Crystal, a Bali Spacer, and a Baby Blue Pearl. Repeat
this pattern for the rest of the Bangle. Enjoy!
