By-the-Sea Charm Bracelet

This gorgeous summer time charm bracelet is easy to make, and quick to assemble. It uses TierraCast's beautiful Sealife Beads & Charms, beautiful TierraCast Panten beads, plus Swarovski bicones and pearls. You'll need basic stringing skills, and a little bit of wire wrapping to turn the two seashell beads into charms. You can review those skills by clicking the links below.




Parts Needed:

How to Make:

  • First - put the seashell beads on headpins and wire wrap closed to make them into charms.
  • Next - open six heavy jump rings, and put the charms on them. In this project, one jumpring will have two charms - as pictured the small spindle shell charm and the small seashell charm.

  • String the beads in the following repeating pattern:
    • Jumpring with Charm

    • 3mm Round
    • 5mm Crystal Pearl
    • 5mm Beaded Spacer
    • 6mm Bicone
    • Panten Bead
    • 6mm Bicone
    • 5mm Beaded Spacer
    • 5mm Crystal Pearl
    • 3mm Round

    • Jumpring with Charm

    • 3mm Round
    • 5mm Crystal Pearl
    • 5mm Beaded Spacer
    • 6mm Bicone
    • Panten Bead
    • 6mm Bicone
    • 5mm Beaded Spacer
    • 5mm Crystal Pearl
    • 3mm Round

    • Jumpring with Charm

    • Etc - bracelet will start and end with a jumpring with a charm. The jumpring will "float" between over the two 3mm round beads, but won't go over the 5mm pearls.


  • Crimp the cord ends around the toggle. Get ready for the complements!
