Tropical Waters Stretch Bracelet
Beautiful colors of Caribbean waters are the showcase of the playful bracelet.  We incorporated pretty peridot beads with our two tone crackle rounds and sterling silver heishi.  Finished length is approximately 7 inches.  To make the bracelet longer, you will need to order another package each of Heishis, Druks and Crackle Rounds.  You will have 3 Spacer Bars remaining.

1 Pkg.  Peridot Druks, 8mm  (#22040) Qty: 
2 Pkg.  Blue & Lt. Green Crackle Rounds, 8mm (#22284) Qty:

Tools you will need (change quantity to 1 if you need them): 
Bead Stoppers (#51009) Qty: 

Directions: 
Cut 2 strands of the Elastoma, approximately 9 inches each.  Place a Bead Stopper on each strand or tape down.

Step 1.  Onto 1 strand of Elastoma string 1 Spacer Bar.

Step 2.  Onto the other strand of Elastoma string the second hole of the Spacer Bar.

Step 3.  Onto each of the strands string:
1 Heishi
1 Crackle Round
1 Heishi
1 Peridot Druk
1 Heishi
1 Crackle Round
1 Heishi
1 Spacer Bar, with one strand in each hole of the Spacer Bar.
Repeat this pattern 4 times, ending with
1 Heishi
1 Crackle Round
1 Heishi
1 Peridot Druk
1 Heishi
1 Crackle Round

Step 4. Using a Square Knot, tie each strand separately.  Be sure to use the same tension on each strand.  You can place a dab of glue or clear nail polish on the knot and then tuck it into a bead.  If you would like this bracelet to be tighter, just remove some of the beads before tying the knot.  If you would like the bracelet somewhat larger, add some beads.  Enjoy!
