INSTRUCTIONS
-
Cut 6 one foot pieces of Elasticity stretch cord and place a small square of tape on one end of each piece to keep the beads from falling off while working.
-
Begin stringing your beads (see recommended sizing chart for pattern). Once you have the right amount of beads for the size bracelet that you desire, slide one end of chain segment on to cord, and continue your bead pattern until all five chain segments are on cord, with equal amounts of beads between.
-
Tie a surgeons knot (pictured on the spool of elasticity) and place a spot of glue on that knot for security, when dry trim off excess cord. (Knot will hide under last link of chain) Skip one link of chain per strand and repeat steps two and three, for a total of six strands.
-
Slide two clacker bells on to each of the 15 split rings using your split ring pliers to create the dangles.
-
Attach your bell dangles to the chain (3 dangles per segment) using your split ring pliers.
