Continue to link your rings together and weave in any extra threads once you are happy with your design.
STEP 5
Take a new length of thread measuring approx. 30cm long. Pick up two seed beads, sew through the connector loop on one half of your clasp (your clasp may be different to the one pictured). Pick up two more seed beads. Position in the centre of the thread then sew through all the beads and loop again. Pull tight. Pass both strands through a single seed bead.
If you're making a continuous circle bracelet that is already at it's full length - with no strap, you can now skip to step 8.
STEP 6
Onto the side of thread with the needle string 33 seed beads. Remove the needle. Thread the needle onto the other strand. Pick up two seed beads, skip the two seed beads immediately after the one with both strands through it, sew through the next. Repeat until your strap is as long as you need it to be. You can add more beads or take off any excess beads.
STEP 7
Take a new thread to make the second strap for the other side of your bracelet, adding the other half of your clasp. Before you sew these onto your rings, you can measure your wrist and add or remove beads from your straps.
STEP 8
Without removing the needle sew into the third ring by sewing through the pair of beads immediately opposite the join between the ring. Then sew through a couple more beads on the ring going in the same direction. Pull the thread so that the strap is pulled up to the ring.
STEP 9
Thread the needle onto the other strand on this strap and repeat the step above going in the opposite direction. Weave in your threads and then repeat this for the other side of your bracelet.
