24 Gauge Wire - 6 pieces of
17 in, and 2 pieces of 8 - 10 in
wire.
Spacer Beads - 4mm - about
18 - 20
Thunder Crystals - 6mm - 9
beads
Thunder Crystals - 4mm 15
beads
Clasp - 7mm Spring Ring
2 - Jump Rings - 10mm
Wire Cutters & Beading Tools
Directions
1. Fold each 17 in. wire in half and place each through a jump ring,
keeping the jump ring in the folds of the wire.
2. Attach the large end of the clasp on that jump ring.
3. Take one of the small piece of wire and wrap it around the wires just
up from the bends and the jump ring. Be sure to tuck the ends of your
small wire inside the wrappings, so you don’t get stuck with the ends
during wearing.
4. Holding all 12 ends of your bracelet wires together, make sure they are
all the same length, cutting them straight if necessary, with wire
cutters.
5. For ease in bead stringing, find a way to attach the clasp to your work
surface with a pin or tape.

Wire and Crystals
Bracelet Directions continued
6. Lay your bracelet down on your work surface, spreading wires so they
lay flat. Taking the first 4 wires, thread a spacer bead on all four wires
and push to the very end, by the wire wrap. If this is difficult, your wires
may be too bent. Try straightening them out by running them over the
end of a table. Also, you can put two or three on and then thread in
the fourth. That helps, since the ends seem to get bent a bit, so they
are larger. You can twist your bead back and forth in your fingers to
help it slide down the wires. Repeat this with the next 2 sets of 4 wires.
You will end with three spacer beads in a row just above the wire
wrapping, that is just above the bends of the wires.
7. Now, pulling two random wires, place a crystal on two wires and pull it
down snug. Taking 2 other wires, take another crystal or bead and pull
it down the wires, but not lined up with the first. Continue this with all of
the crystals and beads, making sure to pull random wires from
different parts of the bracelet, so that it looks almost woven.
8. Pull each bead snug and alternate between bead crystals and
spacer beads.
9. When complete, be sure to leave about an inch of each wire free of
beads. Gather ends of all bracelet wires together and fold over the
end of the other jump ring, leaving about ½ inch of bead-free
bracelet wire before the jump ring and ½ inch after.
10. Cut ends of all wires even to about one-half inch long after the fold.
11. Use the other short wire, wrap it around the ends of the wires and
bracelet wires, just up from the fold, making sure all wire ends are well
covered, so that no ends poke out from the wrapping, even the ends
of the small wire, when you finish wrapping.
12. Attach other end of clasp to jump ring.
13. Spread the wires out a bit to shape it to your wrist.
