Beebeecraft Tutorials on How to Make a Bow Bracelet with Crystal and Pearl Beads

Do you love bow jewelry? In this article, you will see a detailed tutorial on making a crystal bow bracelet with pearl beads.


The combination of crystal glass beads and pearl beads has been very popular in making jewelry, especially jewelry for brides. Today I made an easy crystal bow bracelet, and I added some pearl ornaments on the crystal bow, making it more elegant. Lets see the detailed steps below.


Jewelry craft supplies in making the crystal bow bracelet:
6mm Crystal Glass Beads
2mm Transparent Seed Beads
0.38mm Tiger Wire
Lobster Clasp
Bead Tips
Scissors
Round Nose Pliers



Instructions on making the crystal bow bracelet:

Step 1: Make basic half bow pattern

1st, snip off a piece of tiger wire(about 50cm) and slide 2 6mm glass beads, a 4mm glass bead, and a 6mm glass bead to the middle of the wire;
2nd, cross one end through the 6mm bead on other side, and continue with another 3 6mm glass beads, a 4mm glass bead, a 6mm glass bead, then thread the wire through the second 6mm glass bead and tighten;
3rd, cross both wires through a 6mm glass bead and tighten up.



Step 2: Make the middle part

1st, slide a 4mm glass bead to each wire, and cross the wires through a brass spacer;
2nd, continue to slide a 4mm glass bead to each wire, and cross them again through a 6mm glass bead.



Step 3: Make another half bow pattern

1st, slide 2 6mm glass beads, a 4mm glass bead and a 6mm glass bead to one wire, and then thread the wire through the first 6mm glass bead that youve just slid;
2nd, slide 2 6mm glass beads, a 4mm glass bead and a 6mm glass bead to the other wire, and thread the wire through the first 6mm bead youve just slid;
3rd, cross both wires through another 6mm glass bead and tighten up.




Step 4: Add pearl ornament on the bow

1st, thread the wire back along the 2 beads on sides in the square pattern on itself and add a 4mm pearl bead to each wire, then thread the way along to the half bow on the left;
2nd, add 4mm pearl bead to the symmetric position as shown in the picture;
3rd, thread the wire through along and finally slide 2 glass seed beads to each wire and cross through a 4mm pearl bead;
4th, add 2 2mm glass seed beads to each wire and then thread the wire through the pearl bead and the glass bead to the other half bow;
5th, cross the wires through the 6mm glass bead as shown in the 5th picture and then add 2 2mm glass seed beads to each wire, cross the wires through a 4mm pearl bead, and add another 2 2mm seed beads to each wire again, and finally thread the wire through the bead at fringe and trim off the excessive wires.




Step 5: Finish the crystal bow bracelet

1st, snip off a piece of tiger wire, thread it through the back of the bow, slide about 16 4mm pearl beads at each side, and then trim off the extra;
2nd, attach bead tips, cross chain and lobster clasp and finish the bracelet.
