August 6, 2024
Collect x2 of each piece and put into a little tray to carry to a table, along with beads of your choice.
- 2 lobster clasps
- 2 wire guards
- 2 crimp beads
- beads of your choice
- Pick a no5. string (clear). Unravel it to the desired length of your strap with a few inches extra and cut. (appx 26-35″)
- Attach a needle to one end of the string to help you thread more easily.
- Thread the cord through a crimp bead.
4. Thread the cord through one side of the wire guardian and back down the other side.
5. Slide a lobster clasp to the end of the guardian.
6. Pull the cord tight and flush against the top of the wire guardian.
7. Slide the other side (loose end) of the cord through the crimp bead.
8. Push the crimp bead against the base of the wire guardian and use the bottom part of the crimp tool to crimp the tube.
9. After you’ve created the initial crimp, use the top chamber of the crimp tool to fold that crimp in half.
- To make the happy face daisies, thread on 7 seed beads and then a happy face bead.
- Take the needle and thread it through the 1st seed bead, towards the start of your chain. Pull tight.
3. Then add 5 more seed beads.
4. Then, take the needle and thread it through the last seed bead, right before your center bead. This should be going in the direction opposite of the start of the bracelet.
5. Pull tight.
6. Continue adding beads and happy daisies!
7. To finish, side on a crimp bead and then a wire guardian with lobster clasp the same way you did before.
8. Attach a sticker to your cell phone case where you can clasp your strap to and VOILA!
