Round and round we have wound our aqua Czech druks and our aqua Czech crystals, along with our indicolite Swarovski crystal beads and silver plated rounds.

To make the drops:

Step 2. Twist open a Jump Ring and place the Mint Crystal drop onto the Jump Ring and twist the Jump Ring closed. Repeat for all the drops. Set aside.

To assemble the bracelet:
Step 1. Cut approximately 5 loops of Wire.
Step 2. With your Flat Nose Pliers, bend one end of the wire into a loop.
Step 3. String 1 S/P Round, 1 Indicolite Crystal, 1 S/P Round, 1 Aqua Crystal, 1 S/P Round, 1 Indicolite Crystal, 1 S/P Round, 1 Mint Drop and 1 Aqua Druk. Continue this pattern until you use all of your beads.
Step 4. Snug up your beads and cut any excess Wire with your Memory Wire Cutters, leaving about 3/16” piece of Wire. With your Flat Nose Pliers, bend the end of the Wire into a loop. Finished! Enjoy!
