Dot Bead Set

1   Cut five pieces of beading wire to the desired length for a chain. Close with a crimp bead and a bead tip.

2   Thread rocaille beads onto each piece of beading wire.

3   Assemble all the pieces of beading wire in a large Dot Bead.

4   Close with a bead tip and a crimp bead. Cut off the excess ends.

5   Attach a lobster claw clasp with a round jump ring.

6   For the bracelet; assemble the desired number of strings of beading wire with a crimp bead in pairs.

7   Assemble all the wires with a single crimp bead.

8   Thread rocaille beads onto the pieces of beading wire. Some need more beads than others so the bracelet does not become too stiff. Experiment with different combinations.

9   Assemble all the wires in a large Dot Bead.

10   Attach more rocaille beads onto the beading wires and finish with crimp beads, similar to the opposite end. Pull on a bead cap or an end cap.

11   Attach more beads and make a loop. Pass the beading wire back through the bead cap, tighten and squeeze the crimp bead flat. Cut off excess wire.

12   At the other end also attach a bead cap. Attach beads onto the wire and “tie knots”. Pass the beading wire through the bead cap and the crimp bead. Squeeze the crimp bead flat and cut off excess wire.
