I love copper with the fire red crystals and the orange pearls – way cool! See the directions for the Rusted Sun Pearl Crystal and Wire Bead Earrings too!
You’ll need these supplies:
- 9 – 6mm to 8mm pearls; dyed orange orange
- 4 – 6mm bicone crystals; Swarovski fire red
- 1 wire coiled S clasp
- 1 10mm wire jumprings made with 18 gauge wire
- 20-23 inches of 21 or 22 gauge wire for bead links
- 5mm wire coil with about 20 loops around
You’ll need these tools:
- wire cutters; flush cutters
- Round nose pliers
- Bent nose or chain nose pliers
- may need a bead reamer if the holes in your pearls are too tight
Directions for this Tutorial:
1.) Make 3 pearl bead links with 2 loops of 5mm coil in between each pearl. Do not connect them.
2.) Connect the pearl inks with simple crystal links, except for one end a crystal will need to connect to the wire coiled S clasp. (Need help learning to connect? Scroll down on this bead links page.)
3.) Attach the Jump rings to the other end of the bead and wire bracelet. Enjoy!
