Bracelet Measure the desired length around your wrist. Cut a suitable length of wire for the bracelet and attach the crimp bead and crimp cover. Pinch around the crimp bead with a pair of flat-nose pliers.
2 Squeeze the crimp cover around the crimp bead with the flat-nose pliers.
3 Now add beads to the wire in the pattern you wish. When this is done, attach a crimp cover and crimp bead. First, squeeze the crimp bead around the wire and then squeeze the crimp cover around the crimp bead.
4 Take an round jump ring and open it by twisting it apart as shown in the picture.
5 Guide the round jump ring through the small hole in the crimp cover. Now attach the carabiner clasp to the round jump ring.
6 Twist back the round jump ring.
7 Finish by giving the round jump ring an extra squeeze with a pair of flat-nose pliers to ensure that the parts stay in place.
Repeat the process on the other end of the bracelet, just without the carabiner.
Repeat the process on the other end of the bracelet, just without the carabiner.
Earrings Cut two pieces of chain with wire cutters – one 7 cm and one 2 cm long.
9 Attach the desired beads to an eye pin and finish by attaching the longer chain piece onto the eye pin. Turn the end at least one and a half turns at a distance of 2 mm from the beads/chain, as shown in the picture.
10 Cut off the excess eye pin using a cutting nipper.
11 Open the eyelet on the eye pin and attach the last piece of chain. Now close the eye pin.
12 Open the eyelet on the French ear hook and attach the chain to one of the links to create the look you want. Once you've done this, close the eyelet in the ear hook again and the earring is ready to wear.
