Rainbow Anklet

 

Rainbow Anklet

Rainbow AnkletMATERIALS
-
Two 14" lengths of .015" diameter bright Beadalon 19 Strand wire
- One silver torpedo clasp
- Two 1.3mm silver Beadalon Crimp Beads
- E beads, 5 of each color: blue, red, orange, yellow, pink, green
- Beadalon Wire Nipper Tool
- Beadalon Crimp Tool

PROJECT TIP: Exposed wire and E beads combine to produce fun and fashionable results in this little anklet. Use the same technique to make a matching necklace and bracelet.

Follow the instructions on the Crimp Tool to secure the crimp beads/tubes.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Hold both Beadalon 19 Strand wires together and place a crimp bead 1/2" from the end. String the wires through half of the clasp and back into the crimp bead to form a loop. Use the Crimp Tool to secure the crimp bead.

2. Place each strand through the opposite side of a blue E bead. Pull the strands gently until the bead is vertical and the strand ends are even. Repeat the technique using a red bead. Adjust the wire between the first two beads to about 1/8"-1/4".   String beads in the following color order: blue, red, orange, yellow, pink, green until the desired length is reached.

3. Hold the wire ends together and string a crimp bead 1/2" from the end. String the ends through half of the clasp and place them back into the crimp bead to form a loop. Use the Crimp Tool to again secure and finish the anklet.

Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
