Together Cause Bracelet Tutorial
Created by: Rita Hutchinson
Designer Tips
- String a bead cap, pastel pink pearl bead, and another bead cap onto the ball-end head pin and make a large wire-wrapped loop. Make the loop large enough, so that you don't need an extra jump ring to attach it to the bracelet.
- For step-by-step looping instructions, and the best way to open and close loops, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
- Place the crystal stone into the setting, and use nylon-jaw pliers to gently press the prongs down onto the stone. Go around all prongs a 2nd or 3rd time, pressing more firmly, to make sure all prongs are firmly in place. Add a jump ring to top of charm.
- Open bracelet, and slide charms on in desired order.
Because most Swarovski crystals will no longer be available by mid-2021, we've added some alternate pretty pale pink beads in place of the 6mm pastel rose pearl bead originally used in this project.
