How to Make a Crimp Bead Lampwork Bracelet

Supplies:
Crimp pliers or wire cutters
Flat pliers
Topple Clasp (sterling silver)
Artist-made lampwork beads
Swarovski crystals
Czech glass beads
Sterling silver crimp bead tubes (1 or 2mm)
Colored bead wire (will show)
Ruler and file (optional)

1) Measure your wrist or have the measurement of your buyer's wrist.
2) Cut your bead wire 2-3 inches longer than wrist measurement.
3) Thread bead wire through crimp, toggle, then back through crimp tube.
4) Use crimp tool to curve the crimp and close it, you will only do this for the end tubes.
5) Thread on a bead and a crystal, leave some empty space to show off the wire, then add a crimp tube. This tube you will crimp flat with the regular pliers.
6) Add a crystal, lampwork bead, and another crystal. Leave some space and add another crimp tube that you again flatten.
7) Continue this way until you reach your desired length.
8) Now add the final crimp tube, toggle and thread back through the tube. Crimp this tube with the crimp too.
9) Cut off any left over wire close to the tube and gently file any corners that may irritate you. Wear and enjoy!
