Here's the problem: But it will only fit around
|
This is owing to the fact that the diameter of the beads adds to the diameter of the finished bracelet. We beaders know all about this problem. It's frustrating! |

1. For an average
7" bracelet, cut 10" of beading wire (or 3" longer than
the overall bracelet size) 2. Tape one end, string beads onto the wire and then tape the other end. 
3. Choose a measuring line on the EZ Bracelet that will allow for easy
muscle movement of the wrist. Typically, ˝" is sufficient. So,
if your wrist measures 7", use the 7 ˝" line.
|
5. Determine whether you need to add or remove some beads.
6. Attach the clasp to the bracelet with crimp beads. BUT rather than crimping at this point, flatten the crimp beads with a chain nose pliers. (The pointy pliers with the smooth flat jaws.) 
7. Place the assembled bracelet over the EZ Bracelet to see if it fits your chosen measurement line. 
|
8. If it fits, then go ahead and crimp the crimp beads with your
crimping pliers.
