Jewelry Tutorial! How-To Make a 3-Stranded Bracelet

This jewelry tutorial details the instructions on how to make a chic and sassy 3-stranded bracelet. Strands and findings can be found at www.jessejamesbeads.com, Beadalon Wire and Crimps can be found at your local craft or bead shop.

Let's get started!

Step 1 - Gather Your Supplies!

What's Needed:
3 x Jesse James Beads Strands (We like using two PETITE Strands and one INSPIRATION Strand)
1 x Grand Finale Clasp Pack (We used a flower toggle, Grand Finale #25 - Find It Here!)
Beadalon Wire (7- or 19-strand works great!)
Crimp Beads, size #2
Pliers


Step 2 - Wire & Crimp It!

First, cut your wire into three pieces. Measure the wire around your wrist for the appropriate length, then allow for a couple extra inches so you have room to work.

Now, let's crimp it up!
-Feed all three strands into a crimp bead

-Insert the three strands as one into the clasp.

-Loop the three strands around and insert back into the crimp.

-Using the pliers crimp the crimp bead tightly around all 6 pieces of wire. Trim any excess wire.


Step 3 - String Along!

First, play with the layout to see which strand you'd like next to which. Then get ready to string!

-Re-string each JJB strand onto the wire attached to the toggle

-When all 3 strands are restrung onto the bracelet wire, insert all 3 wire ends as one into another crimp bead, then insert into the toggle bar and loop around to feed through the crimp again.

-Pull the wire lightly snug and crimp the crimp bead tight with the pliers.


Step 4 - Ta-DAH!

Oh YES! Look at that bracelet, Rockstar Status for sure! Quick and easy, fashionable and chic! That's how we do it here at Jesse James Beads.
