Apple Blossom Jewelry

This lovely bracelet is a great project for all skill levels! You'll need basic stringing skills, and a little wire wrapping to create the optional decorative drop on the clasp. You can review those techniques, here:

Parts Needed:

Apple Blossom Button
10mm Cat's Eye Coin Beads
3mm Bali Style Spacers in Silver or Gold
3mm Round Beads in Silver or Gold
Medium Toggle (no wire wrapping required) OR
5mm Closed Ring in Silver or Gold AND
10mm Flat Lobster Clasp in Silver or Gold
1.5" Headpins in Silver or Gold (for optional drop)
Crimp Beads in Silver or Gold
.018" Beading Wire in Bright or Bronze

Bracelet Pattern

Each coin bead should have a 3mm bali spacer on either side. A 3mm round will separate each bali/coin grouping.
When you string the button - leave out the bali style spacer and 3mm seamless round on either side of the button. The coin beads will hold the button in place.
If you want - put an extra coin bead and some spacers on a headpin, and wire wrap it to the clasp for a little extra swing.
