Instructions
Snip an 8-inch length of wire from the roll. Secure a jump ring to one end of it with a double knot.
Slide an abalone bead of your choice down the length of the wire, allowing it to rest atop the secured jump ring. Small round beads, cube-shaped beads and a wide array of other shapes and sizes of abalone bead can be found in craft and hobby supply stores or online.
Slide two more beads of the same shape and size down the length of wire, allowing them to stack atop one another.
Slide a small crimp bead of any color down the wire atop the beads. Use the crimping tool to pinch the bead around the wire.
Slide three beads of a larger size and another shape of abalone. Repeat Step 4.
Repeat Steps 5 and 4 two more times each. Double knot the free end of the wire around the clasp of your choice. Dot jewelry glue on the knots at both ends of the bracelet and let it dry for 10 minutes before wearing it.
