Finished Holiday Bracelet

The finished bracelet is made with D.D.'s lampwork beads, freshwater pearls, and red glass beads.

There are lots of variations you can do with this basic design idea, but to make a bracelet like the one in this project, you’ll need the following:

7 square double-holed lampwork beads
14 – 4mm freshwater pearls
28 – 4mm (or size 8) red glass beads
2 - 10 inch pieces of .05mm stretchy cord
Scissors
Hypo-cement jewelry glue
1 binder clip (available in office supply stores)

1. Begin by attaching the binder clip to the ends of both pieces of stretchy cord.

2. Now string on one red bead, one pearl, and one red bead onto each piece of cord.

3. Slid one of the double-holed beads onto both pieces of cord.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have all your beads strung on your cord.

5. Tie an over hand knot on both pieces of cord, dab some glue onto the knot, trim off excess cord, tuck knots into holes of each lampwork bead, and allow to dry over night.
