Step Two – Create Bracelet
1. String 1 Crimp Bead approximately 1 inch from the end of the Buddy Braids. 2. String 1 of the Rondelle Drops you just created.3. String the short end of the Buddy Braids back through the Crimp Bead (this will create a loop around the loop of your Rondelle Drop). Pull the Buddy Braids tight so there is a Buddy Braid loop about 1/8 inch big around the loop of the rondelle drop. See Illustration 1.Illustration 1
4. Squeeze the Crimp Bead so your Buddy Braids will not slip out.5. Trim the Buddy Braids you just strung through the crimp bead leaving about a ½ inch. Make sure you string the first several beads over both.6. String the following:I. 1 Faceted Magnetic Hematite Tube, 4 Size 6 Amethyst Seed Beads, 1 Clear 6x4mm Rondelle, 1 Pink Glass Pearl, 1 Clear 6x4mm Rondelle, 4 Size 6 Amethyst Seed Beads.II. Repeat this pattern 14 times.III. String 1 additional Faceted Magnetic Tube.7. String 1 Crimp Bead8. String the other Rondelle Drop you created earlier.9. String the end of the Buddy Braids back through the crimp bead (again create a loop around the loop of your Rondelle Drop). While you string the Buddy Braids back through the crimp bead go back through several of the last beads you strung. Pull the Buddy Braids tight so there is a Buddy Braid loop about 1/8 inch big around the loop of your rondelle drop. See Illustration 2 Illustration 210. Squeeze the Crimp Bead so your Buddy Braids will not slip out.11. Trim the excess Buddy Braids.You are done!!! To put this bracelet on simply wrap it around your wrist several times, the magnetic hematite beads will line up and keep it in place!! You can also wear this as a necklace, just line up several of the hematite beads and they will act as a clasp!!
**If the magnetic hematite beads do not line up and “stick” together you may need to adjust the length of your bracelet, you can do this by adding size 6 seed beads to make it bigger or subtracting them to make it smaller.
