Making a Multi-Strand Bracelet

This bead project uses flexible beading wire - Use either 0.014 or 0.019 of the Soft Flex bead wire or the Soft Touch beading wire.    To start out cut three strands of the flexible beading wire to the length you desire for the bracelet plus a couple of inches.  The bracelet shown is 7 3/4" including the Bali toggle clasp, so we cut each strand to about 10 1/2 inches.     Run the strands through the 3 strand connector and slide them through a crimp bead and then through the clasp loop and back through the crimp bead.  The 3 strands doubled through the crimp bead is a tight fit but it does go through.  Using crimp pliers crimp the bead and trim away any excess.  Slide the connector down over the crimp bead - this will hide the crimp bead.   Begin stringing by placing the 4mm glass beads with the sterling silver daisy spacers between each bead.  We used the Black Diamond glass beads to pick up the oxidized color of the sterling silver findings. We used a different Bali spacer bead when transitioning from the Aquamarine to the Black Diamond - this Bali spacer is a bit thicker.

You'll need to adjust the number of beads to accommodate the size of the bracelet.  Use the Sterling Silver spacer bars to keep the strands together and to accent the piece.   Finish the bracelet by using the three strand connector, and attaching the clasp end with a crimp bead.  You'll want to pull any excess wire out of the bracelet before crimping.  This will help the 3 strand connector slide over the crimp bead.
