Additional Supplies:

Round Nose Pliers
Wire Cutter
Directions:
- Take the 26 gauge wire and cut 5 or 6 (depending on number of links being used) pieces of 3 inch lengths.
- Starting at one end of the silver oval link, slightly above the curve of the oval; wrap the wire around the end about 3 or 4 times. (Tip: Using the chain nose pliers, press down the end of the wire to the link, making sure that the ends do not stick up and scratch your skin.)
- Next, string on the 2mm silver bead, followed by three 6mm acrylic beads, ending with another 2mm silver bead. Then take the wire and finish wrapping the other end, slightly below the curve of the oval with the wire. Cut off any excess wire. Continue this process for all the links. (Tip: The wired strand should look slanted or diagonal, not straight across from end to end.)
- Add a jump ring to each end of the bracelet connectors.
- Add the magnetic clasps to the jump rings and you’re done!
