DIY: Trio of colorful ceramic beaded bracelets, Millefiori and Preciosa

Step 1: Attaching the lobster clasp

Cut about 20 cm of nylon thread.
Slide a squeeze bead onto one end, then add the lobster clasp. Thread the thread back through the squeeze bead to form a loop around the clasp.

Using crush pearl pliers, firmly crush the pearl to lock the clasp in place.

For a more polished finish, place a crush pearl cover around the crushed pearl to conceal it and create a more aesthetically pleasing finish.

If this is the first time you've used crush pearls, take a look at our data sheet: Creating beautiful finishes with crush pearls.

Step 2: Prepare your beads

Lay all your beads out in front of you to imagine your color and shape combinations.
This step allows you to visualize the final result and prepare the composition of each of your bracelets before threading.

Step 3: Making the first bracelet

String the beads as you wish, alternating shapes and colors in a harmonious way.

To reproduce our model, string in this order:
2 tinted mother-of-pearl olive beads (NA-871), 1 Millefiori glass cube bead (FIORI-076), 1 Preciosa Citrine toupie bead (PCA-031), 1 white baroque bead (PVC-683), 1 tinted mother-of-pearl olive bead (NA-871), 1 Preciosa Citrine toupie bead (PCA-031), 1 tinted mother-of-pearl olive bead (NA-871), 1 Millefiori glass cube bead (FIORI-076), 1 dyed mother-of-pearl olive bead (NA-871), 1 Preciosa Hyacinth round bead (PCA-123), 1 white baroque bead (PVC-683), blue ceramic fish bead, 1 Millefiori glass cube bead (FIORI-076), 2 dyed mother-of-pearl olive beads (NA-871), 1 Preciosa Citrine toupie bead (PCA-031).

To finalize your bracelet, repeat step 1 on the other end of the wire, this time replacing the lobster clasp with an open ring.
