Level Of Difficulty: Beginner
1. Cut two 12" pieces of Elasticity cording.
2. Onto an eye pin, string 1 tube, 1 crystal, 1 Bali rondelle, 1 crystal, and 1 tube. Make a simple loop. Repeat nine more times for a total of 10 tanzanite links.
3. Place a bead bug at the end of a 12" piece of Elasticity cord.
4. String 2 hematine rondelles, 1 tanzanite link, 2 hematine rondelles, and a silver rectangle slider. Repeat this step nine more times, alternating the larger and smaller rectangle sliders. Place a bead bug at the end of the cord.
5. Repeat step 4 using the other side of the sliders and links that were strung in step 4.
6. Bring the two ends of the bracelet cuff together, and remove the bead bugs from one set of cords, adjusting the bead bugs onto the cords that will meet and adjusting the cords so that they will tie behind a slider instead of between the slider and the hematine rondelles.
7. Fasten the cords behind the slider by tying an overhand knot holding the ends of one cord, then apply a drop of super glue gel. Repeat with the second cord. Let dry overnight, then trim the cord tails.
