TOM N⁰2 Make it

Overview of all materials needed to make the bracelet.

Photo 2/3/4:
First, thread a crimp bead onto the stainless steel-coated wire, immediately followed by the wire guide. The wire should run over the loop. This protects the wire from wear caused by movement. Next, one side of the clasp is threaded into the loop of the wire guide. The wire can now be threaded back through the crimp bead and then firmly crimped shut with flat-nosed pliers. This creates a secure connection for the clasp.

We can hide the crimp bead by sliding a 'crimp bead cover' over the crimp bead and gently pressing the two parts together. PLEASE NOTE! The intention is for this cover to remain nicely round. So do not squeeze too hard with the pliers; the material is thin and can easily be compressed.

Thread a few more beads onto the double wire, after which you can cut off the short part invisibly.

Optionally, the sterling silver charm can also be strung.

Once you are satisfied with your design and have checked the length, we begin the finishing. To do this, we thread another crimp bead, immediately followed by the wire guide. Next, we thread a number of beads back onto the wire. Hold the bracelet up by the wire guide and gently pull the threaded-back wire with small pliers until all excess space is gone and the beads fit together nicely.

Once the beads fit together nicely, use flat-nosed pliers to firmly crimp the crimp bead shut again. This secures the wire firmly once more. It must not slide back down.

Next, we can hide the crimp bead again by sliding the 'crimp bead cover' over the crimp bead and gently pushing it shut. The crimp bead cover remains round!

The wire can be cut with side cutters.

Finally, we attach the second part of the toggle clasp to the bracelet using a connecting loop. We hang both parts (the bracelet and the clasp shank) into the loop and bend it neatly closed.
