Jewelry Making Idea: Dream Catcher Bangle Bracelet

Dreamcatcher Bangle Bracelet
Bangles are “in” this season, so why not create one of your very own with playful beads dancing around! You will love the way this bangle idea shines and sparkles. The beads we used are a shimmering mix of Czech crystals and pearls with silver accents. We also carry these versatile bangles in gold if that is your preference. You will have leftover beads and findings if you would like to add even more beads to our design!

Directions: All the drops are made first and then you'll assemble the bracelet.
Step 1. Onto each of four Head Pins place the following: a Light Sapphire Crystal, a S/P Round, and a Light Sapphire Crystal. Using a Side Cutter, cut off the excess eye pin of each Head Pin leaving approximately 3/16.” Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend each 3/16” piece of wire 90 degrees. Then, with the Round Nose Pliers, carefully bend each 3/16” piece of wire into a loop, but do not close tightly. Set aside

Step 2. Onto each of four Head Pins, place the following: a Clear Crystal, a Bali Spacer, and a Light Sapphire Pearl. Using a Side Cutter, cut off the excess eye pin of each Head Pin leaving approximately 3/16.” Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend each 3/16” piece of wire 90 degrees. Then, with the Round Nose Pliers, carefully bend each 3/16” piece of wire into a loop, but do not close tightly. Set aside.

Step 3. Onto each of four Head Pins, place the following: a S/P Round, a Creme Pearl, and a S/P Round. Using a Side Cutter, cut off the excess eye pin of each Head Pin leaving approximately 3/16.” Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend each 3/16” piece of wire 90 degrees. Then, with the Round Nose Pliers, carefully bend each 3/16” piece of wire into a loop, but do not close tightly. Set aside.

Step 4. Onto 8 Head Pins, place a Clear Crystal. Onto 4 Head Pins, place a Creme Pearl. Onto 4 Head Pins, place a Baby Blue Pearl. Repeat with these Head Pins what has been done with the beaded Head Pins in Steps 1, 2, and 3.

Step 5. Onto the Bangle, place your beaded Head Pins in the following pattern, closing the loops tightly in doing so:

Through the first loop of the Bangle place a Head Pin with a Clear Crystal and through a second loop of the Bangle place a Head Pin with a Light Sapphire Crystal, a S/P Round, and a Light Sapphire Crystal. Next to this second loop place a Head Pin with a Creme Pearl around the Bangle itself, then do the same with a Head Pin with a Baby Blue Pearl. Onto the 3rd loop of the Bangle place a Head Pin with a Clear Crystal. Onto the Bangle itself, place a Head Pin with a S/P Round, a Creme Pearl, and a S/P Round. Lastly, onto the 4th loop of the Bangle, place a Head Pin with a Clear Crystal, a Bali Spacer, and a Baby Blue Pearl. Repeat this pattern for the rest of the Bangle. Enjoy!
