Project Instructions
Begin by tying 7 sets of square knots.
Thread on the first 17mm Baroque Howlite bead, then tie 4 sets of square knots.
Thread on the first 8mm round Howlite bead and surround it with 8 × 6/0 seed beads, then tie 4 sets of square knots.
Thread on the second 8mm round Howlite bead, then tie 4 sets of square knots.
Thread on the third 8mm round Howlite bead and surround it with another 8 × 6/0 seed beads, then finish with 7 more sets of square knots.
Remove the bracelet section from your knotting board or tying station. Attach a crimp end to each end using the beading wire. Secure one end to the silver heart link and the other end to a 5mm jump ring.
Repeat the same process to complete the other side of the bracelet, using another 16 × 6/0 seed beads. Attach one end to the opposite side of the silver heart link and attach a 5mm jump ring to the other end.
Complete the bracelet by attaching the clasp to one 5mm jump ring. Attach the extender chain to the opposite side using the remaining 5mm jump ring, then attach the 6mm jump ring to the end of the chain.
Use the eight-sided accent bead and silver head pin to create a decorative dangle.
