Directions:
Step 1. Cut four pieces of Chain with Side Cutters. Each piece should measure approximately one inch; cut it so you are left with two complete “figure eights” and two oval shapes.
Step 2. Take one part of the Tubular Clasp. Gently twist open a Jump Ring and slide it through the middle loop of the Clasp. Then thread the Jump Ring through one end of one of the pieces of Chain (through the oval shape). Gently twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 3. Thread the following onto an Eye Pin: one Swarovski, one Pony Bead, two Heishi’s, one Millifiori, two Heishi’s, one Pony Bead, and one Swarovski Bicone.
Step 4. Slide two Floating Rings onto the piece of Chain attached to the Clasp. Twist open the loop end of the Eye Pin with Pliers and thread it through the unused piece of that Chain (through the “figure eight”). On the other end of the Eye Pin above the Swarovski, create a simple loop by bending the Pin 90 degrees with Flat Nose Pliers and curling into a tight loop with Flat Nose Pliers, trimming excess with Cutters. Before closing loop completely, thread it through another piece of Chain (through the “figure eight”).
Step 5. Slide two Floating Rings onto this piece of Chain. Gently open a Jump Ring and thread that through the end of your Chain (through the oval) and through the middle loop on your Watch Face.
Step 6. Repeat steps 2-5 on the other side of the Watch Face with the other piece of the Clasp. Note: be sure the two parts of your clasp are facing opposite directions throughout so they will slide together in the end!
Step 7. Cut four pieces of Chain measuring approximately ¾ inches per piece: each should be in the pattern of oval, figure eight, and oval. Set them aside.
Step 8. Thread the following onto an Eye Pin: one Swarovski, one Pony Bead, one Heishi, one Millifiori, one Heishi, one Pony Bead, and one Swarovski.
Step 9. Repeat the above sequence on seven more Eye Pins and set them aside.
Step 10. Take a Jump Ring and gently twist open to slide through the loop on one of the remaining loops on the Clasp. Do not close.
Step 11. Take one of the beaded Eye Pins and thread the looped end onto the Jump Ring. Gently twist the Jump Ring closed. Create a tight loop above the Swarovski on the other end of the Eye Pin and thread it through one end of a piece of Chain before closing it. Slide two Floating Rings onto this piece of Chain.
Step 12. Take another beaded Eye Pin twist open the loop, threading it through the unused end of Chain. Form a tight loop on the other end of the Eye Pin above the Swarovski. Twist open a Jump Ring and thread it through this loop, then the corresponding loop on the Watch Face.
Step 13. Repeat steps 10-12 three more times to complete the outer strands of the watch bracelet. Enjoy!
