📋 Step-by-step Instructions:
✅ Step 1: Cut 30-inches of 28-gauge craft wire and smooth with nylon jaw pliers. String the middle row of your pattern to the midpoint of the wire.
✅ Step 2: Bend the wire and string on the next row from the middle, then pass the wire back through the first row.
✅ Step 3: Pass the wire through the second row again to secure the beads in place.
✅ Step 4: Continue making beaded rows for this side (which includes your starting row plus five new rows).
✅ Step 5: Use the wire from the starting row to weave the five rows of the opposite side.
✅ Step 6: Form a beaded tube over the Knitted Leather Chain by joining the edge row of one side to the center row.
✅ Step 7: Bring the wire back through the edge row to close the tube. Weave through two more rows and trim the excess wire.
✅ Step 8: Loop the other end of your Knitted Leather Chain to cross over the open side of the beaded swatch and repeat steps 6 and 7.
✅ Step 9: Adjust the Knitted Leather Chain in the slider clasp to determine the length needed to fit over the widest part of your hand.
✅ Step 10: Trim the ends of your Knitted Leather Chain to a 1-inch length past the slider edge and attach SilverSilk 9mm Terminator End Caps to the raw ends to complete the bracelet.
