Sour Patch Bracelet Tutorial
Created by: Rita Hutchinson
12mm #4470 Cushion Squares by Swarovski are nearly gone, but these settings also work with most other brands of 12mm cushion squares. Shop remaining colors while they last!
Designer Tips
- For step-by-step instructions on wire-wrapping loops, and best way to open and close jump rings, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF)
- Set the crystals in the bezel settings, and press prongs down smoothly over the stones using the nylon jaw pliers.
- Link settings together with jump rings.
- Add clasp to one end, using a jump ring.
- Add desired length of chain to other end.
- Add metal bead to head pin and wire wrap directly to last link of chain.
- The chain makes this bracelet adjustable, so it fits a variety of wrist sizes. It is best worn snugly, to prevent the crystals from flipping over.
