2 pair chain nose pliers or 1 pair flat nose, 1 pair chain nose
1 pair flush cutters
Materials
10 inches nylon coated stainless steel stringing cable
Toggle clasp
4 crimp tubes or crimp beads
your choice of beads
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1:
Cut 10" of stringing cable
Step 2:
Put a beadstopper or piece of tape on the end of your cable so the beads don't fall off.
Step 3:
Lay out your design. I like to start in the middle and work outwards. You'll need about 6" worth of beads for a 7" wrist.
Step 4:
Start stringing your beads.
Step 5:
Measure the length of your strung beads. You'll need about the same amount as your wrist size less one inch. (The extra inch is for your clasp).
Step 6:
Take the tape off one end of your cable, take off last bead strung, then string a crimp tube, the bead you just removed, another crimp tube, then one half of your toggle clasp
Step 7:
String the end of your cable back through the 1st crimp tube, the bead, and the 2nd crimp tube.
(Remember to leave enough length on the other end!)
Step 8:
Snug everything up nice and squoosh each crimp tube with your chain nose pliers.
Give the end a tug to make sure everything is secure.
Step 9:
Do the same on the other end with your remaining half of the toggle clasp.
Step 10:
Try on your bracelet for one last size check.
Step 11:
If everything is A-OK size-wise, trim the ends of cable with your flush cutters
The Finished Bracelet!
