Barrel bead Bracelet.

Materials:

20g soft sterling silver wire - 80"
4mm silver bead - 14"
Barrel bead - 7

Tools:

Flush cutter(Fc),Round nose plier(Rnp),Flat nose plier(Fnp)

Preparations:
Cut 2 pieces of 20"wire
Cut 1 piece of 10"wire
Cut 10 pieces of 3"wire

Method:

With the Fnp,hold the wire at the center and pinch it on either side. With the help of a 3" wire, wrap it at the centre. This is the catch for the hook. Wrap another piece of wire little away.ie 1/3" away and wrap the wire running around the wire up and down. This is wrap no.1.

Now wrap the 10" wire at the middle of the wrapped wire no.1.This wire that runs in the middle is where the beads are strung.*String 1number of 4mm bead,1 barrel bead and 1more 4mmbead. Then wrap it withe another 3"wire;repeat from(*) for 6 more times. At the end of the 7th set of beads, wrap the middle wire and cut off the rest of the wire.

For the side wire, leave 1" and cut the rest of it.Make a loop on either side of it.
With the last piece of 3"wire, make a hook that fits in the loop.By now, the bracelet would be about 7-8"long. Bend it on a bracelet mandrel. Not the hook might get set in the catch.

The Bracelet is ready to wear.
Thankyou.
