Spooky Spider Bracelet Tutorial

Spooky Spider Bracelet Tutorial

Our Spooky Spider Bracelet is a creative, colorful way to celebrate the Halloween season!  With bright oranges and greens, it evokes a witch's brew filled with delightful monster heads and creepy crawly spiders.  What could be more fun?!

Spooky Spider Bracelet Instructions:
You will need: 
5 lampwork beads (1 white with spider, 2 green with spiders, 2 with orange with black dots)
 6 black square Czech glass beads
8 orange 6mm Czech glass beads
6 green 6mm Czech glass beads
12 inches SoftFlex beading wire
2x2 crimps (2)
Gunmetal clasp and jump ring
 2 Gunmetal crimp covers
Crimping pliers or needle nose pliers
SoftFlex cutters

Instructions:
 String beads onto the SoftFlex in the following order: Orange bead, green bead, black square, 
orange bead, green with spider, orange bead, black square.



 Continue stringing in the following order: green bead, orange with black dots, green bead,
 black square, orange beads, large spider bead.




 Finish stringing the bracelet by reversing the bead order, as shown below.



Check your sizing.  Remove beads from the ends if your bracelet is too long.  
 Once you are happy with the length of the bracelet, string on one crimp and 
the trigger clasp.  Pass the SoftFlex back through the crimp and 
crimp it closed.  Cut off any excess wire.




On the other end of the bracelet, string on one crimp and the closed jump ring.  
 Pass the SoftFlex back through the crimp and crimp it closed.   
Cut off any excess wire.



Cover each crimp with a crimp cover, gently tapping the cover into position with 
your needle nose pliers.



Your finished bracelet will look like this:
