DIY Lotus Paisley Bracelet

Created by: Sondra Barrington


Designer Tips

  • Set the cushion square crystal stone in the setting. Keeping the stone centered, use your fingers, a burnishing tool, or flat nylon-jaw pliers to gently bend the prongs over the stone. Smooth the prongs firmly in place with a burnishing tool.
  • Use large jump rings to attach the charms to the bracelet. To avoid marks on the jump rings, use 2 pairs of chain-nose pliers. For best way to open and close loops, see Jump Ring Hint in Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF)
