Crystal and Fiber Bracelet

Tammy Powley
Crystals attached to cotton yarn make up one strand of this double strand bracelet that combines crystals, metal, and fiber. The design is asymmetrical since I finished the ends with two different types of metal cones and also included a sterling bead on one strand of the bracelet, but the mix of jet and silver gives the finished piece a classic style.

You will need the following tools and supplies:

*3 1/2 feet of Swarovski black cotton yarn with 3mm jet beads
*1 TierraCast antique silver lily cone bead cap
*1 TierraCast antique silver spiral cone
*1 12x6.5mm Gunmetal-plated Trigger clasp
1 - 8x4mm Sterling tube-shaped bead
20 - 4mm Czech jet crystals
2 - 5x7mm Jet black Czech teardrop beads
24 - Silver colored size 11 seed beads
2 - 2x2mm Crimp beads
6 inches of 21-gauge Sterling silver wire
Size D crochet hook
Scissors
10 inches of .015 or .014 beading wire
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers
Crimping pliers
