Bright & Funky semi-precious Bracelet - Continued
- Component Two: These next components require a bit of creativity. Make a loop at one end, and make a few bends in the wire. They should be between 1cm - 1.5cm in length by about 1cm wide. Make 3 of these.
- Here are some example of these components:
- Component Three: (please note: for the following 2 components you will probably have to use a lower gauge wire. I have used 0.5mm s/s). Make a loop at one end. Thread a silver bead, followed by 3 or 4 carnelian chip beads, followed by another silver bead (as shown). Make another loop at the other end. Make 3 of these.
- Component Four: Just as component four, but using feature beads. I have used 4mm carnelian, 8mm carnelian, silver lined lampwork beads and plain glass beads. Be creative and use combinations that work. Make four of these.
- Join all the components together, by opeing the loops then closing them again with your pliers.
 Suggested order for bracelet (broken into two photos to fit on page! First photo is left side, bottom is right): 
- Now it is time to make a clasp. You can just use a ready-made clasp if you like, but I think this type of interesting bracelet requires a handmade clasp. Using 0.6mm square wire, bend over the end so there are no sharpe ends (as shown).
