Make a Cut Tube and Crystal Bead Bracelet 

This bead project uses flexible beading wire threaded through sterling silver tube beads with Swarovski bicone crystal beads as accents.    Choose any color of Swarovski beads to personalize your design or create a mother's bracelet by choosing the beads that represent the birthstones of her children.  Remember that Mother's Day is just around the corner.  This design also looks great with Czech glass pearl beads.   Use Soft Flex beading wire attach a Sterling Silver clasp using a crimp bead.  Cover the crimp bead with a crimp cover - this is important to ensure that the bracelet looks professional.   String a Sterling Silver Curved tube bead followed by a 3mm Sterling Silver rondel. Follow this with another curved tube bead and rondel.  This is where we began using Swarovski beads (6mm bicones), followed by the Sterling Silver "S" shaped beads and rondels.  Adjust the number of tube beads you'll need according to the wrist size.  Finish the bracelet using the same beads that were used to begin the bracelet.
