Halloween Harvest Bracelet
I was so excited when Carolyn came in a couple weeks ago with these Dyed Magnesite Skulls and I knew right away that I wanted to use some for an Idea. All of the skulls look great with our Vintage Brass, but orange happens to be my favorite color and it’s perfect with Halloween just around the corner! I used our Pressed Glass Autumn Cubes, Twists and Topaz Crystals for color accents. Clasp this bracelet around your wrist for some festive autumn fun; it measures 7.25 inches, including the clasp. - Dannie from Customer Service

Directions:
Step 1. Take a Topaz Cube, a Large Twist, an Orange Cube, a Brown Cube, an Orange Skull, and a Green Cube, and thread each of these onto its own Eye Pin. Form a simple loop above each by bending the Eye Pin 90 degrees with Flat Nose Pliers, then trim with Side Cutters to leave 3/8 inch behind. Curl into a tight loop with Round Nose Pliers.

Step 2. Twist open a Jump Ring with Flat Nose Pliers and attach the Topaz Cube to the Large Twist, then an Orange Cube to the other side of the Large Twist with another Jump Ring. Connect the Brown Cube to the Orange Skull, and a Green Cube to the other side of the Orange Skull.

Step 3. Cut the Chain into two 3-inch pieces.

Step 4. Twist open a Jump Ring and thread on one end of a piece of Chain, then thread this Jump Ring through the unused side of the Topaz Cube and one hole in the Ridged Ring. Close the Jump Ring. Twist open another Jump Ring and thread the other end of the Chain onto it, then the unused end of the Orange Cube. Take the Vineyard Filigree and twist the Jump Ring around the two prongs on the end and twist it closed.

Step 5. Thread the Swirl Bar onto an Eye Pin and form a simple loop about 1-2 mm above it. Repeat Step 4 with the other piece of the bracelet on the other side of the Vineyard Filigree, using the Swirl Bar instead of the Ridged Ring.

Step 6. Thread a Topaz Crystal onto an Eye Pin and form a simple loop about 5/8 inch up the Eye Pin. Gently open the eye of the Eye Pin and thread it around the center portion of the Vineyard Filigree, and do the same on the opposite side with the simple loop you just made. Ensure that both loops are closed securely around the Filigree.

Step 7. Thread a Topaz Crystal onto an Eye Pin and form a simple loop above it. Do the same with another Topaz Crystal and attach it to the first one, making sure all the loops are closed. Twist open a Jump Ring and thread it through either of the end loops, then through the second hole in the Ridged Ring. Enjoy!
