How-To: Crystal Pearl Prayer Bracelet

March 22, 2012

This prayer bracelet was one of the jewelry projects that were originally featured in a FREE  downloadable Jewelry eBook, available by clicking HERE. All of the supplies came from ConsumerCrafts.com– a great resource for online craft supplies. (Their shipping is stellar!)

It’s perfect for a wedding, shower, first communion, baptism, or confirmation!

 

Supplies:

  • 26 Gauge Beading Wire
  • Beadalon Crimp Beads
  • Silver Lobster Clasps 
  • 6mm White SWAROVSKIâ„¢ ELEMENTS Crystal Pearls  
  • 6mm Crystal  SWAROVSKIâ„¢ ELEMENTS Rondelle Spacers 
  • 4mm Crystal AB SWAROVSKIâ„¢ ELEMENTS Bicone Beads
  • Prayer Box Charm
  • Sterling Silver Plated Toggle Clasp
  • 4mm Nickel Plated Jump Rings 
  • 6mm Nickel Plated Double Split Rings
  • Beadalon EZ Crimping Pliers
  • Wire Cutters

Lay out your design on a beading mat in the following order:  bicone, pearl, rondelle, pearl, rondelle, pearl. (Use extra or fewer beads at the two ends to accommodate your recipient’s wrist size.)

Thread your beading wire into the toggle clasp, leaving a 2” tail. Thread both ends of the wire through the crimp bead. Slide the crimp bead up to the clasp and, using the crimping pliers, secure the crimp. Then string your beads in order. Add a split ring at the end of your design–you’ll attach your prayer box to this later.

Add your second crimp bead, and then thread on the second part of the clasp. Run the beading wire back through the last 4-5 beads, drawing the string snugly. Then crimp the bead and, using the the wire cutters, cut the leftover beading wire off. Now attach the lobster claw clasp to the prayer box using a jump ring. Attach it to the split ring on your bracelet.

    The link included in this post for the free e-book doesn’t work. Any way it can be fixed and I notified so I can check it out?

    You can also use this sort of bracelet for gratitude beads: for each bead on the strand you have to think of one thing you are grateful/thankful for. It’s a good daily habit to be in 🙂 (I actually use a mala — a sort of rosary for some forms of Buddhism — for my gratitude beads.)

    Great idea, Juliann. I made a similar version with pink pearls and a breast-cancer ribbon charm for a fundraiser- there are just so many ways to adapt it. : )
