Tips
The crystal cubes add extra sparkle to this design, Make sure you use complimentary colors to best effect. Earrings can easily be made to coordinate from crackle beads or crystal as desired.
Step One
Take a headpin and thread on a seed bead, a foil disc and seed bead. Make loop at one end of the headpin with round nose pliers. Push the beads towards the loop and now trimming the headpin to leave a ¼inch (1cm) of wire, make another loop. Repeat this step three more times.
Step Two
Now using the same technique as above, place a seed bead, a flower rondelle, a crackle bead, another rondelle and another seed bead on a headpin and make loops both ends. Repeat three more times.
Step Three
Interlink the beaded headpins by using the headpin loops in the pattern of a foil disc followed by a crackle bead. Using a jump ring each end attach a toggle clasp.
Step Four
Make a cube drop by threading a seed bead, a rondelle, a rose crystal cube, a rondelle and another seed bead. Trim headpin as before, make a loop and attach to a jump ring. Repeat with Vitrail cube. Now repeat this cube cluster twice more and attach the cube cluster drops via the jump rings to the bracelet after every crackle bead except the last one.
