How to make a multi-strand bracelet using serpentine chain, 3 mm PureCrystal bicones, and 0.6 mm Gold Filled serpentine chain with 1.3 mm Crimp beads to secure the beads in place.

Please note: The 0.8 mm Paloma chain featured in the tutorial has been replaced with a 0.6 mm Paloma chain, which creates a more delicate look.
Cut the chain into 8 pieces of exactly 12.5 cm.
Put a tiny dab of glue on the end of one of the chains, pass a 2 mm crush bead over it and flatten it firmly just over the end of the chain, without letting it protrude on the other side.
Repeat this step for all the chain pieces. Be sure to do this on one side of the chain only.
Fold back one of the tabs on the weaving tip and flatten the tip very slightly to reduce the size of the slot. Slide the warp ends with the crushed bead one by one into the end cap and close it. Please note! Wait for the glue to dry before sliding them in!
Slide PureCrystal spinners onto each piece. Bend the end of the chain to a point using flat-nose pliers to facilitate passage. If the 3 mm spindles really won't fit, even if you try hard, first slide on a 4 mm spindle and then try again with another 3 mm spindle.
The advantage of using 0.8 mm serpentine chain is that you don't need to use crush beads to keep the spinners in place, as some spinners with slightly smaller holes will fix the others. If you don't mind using crush beads, use 6 mm gold filled serpentine chain. Remember to thread the crush beads at the same time as the spinners.
Once the PureCrystal spinners have been threaded onto the chain, apply a dab of glue and flatten a crush bead on the end to close it.
Do the same for all the chains, then add them to the second weaving tip and close the tab.
Add the extension chain and clasp with rings.
