String Beads and Finish

• 1). Arrange the beads you want for your bracelet in the order you want them on the bracelet. If you use a beading board, use the ruler on the board to help gauge how many beads you'll need to make a 6- to 7-inch bracelet. If you don't have a board, use the ruler. A cloth under the beads will help stop them from rolling around.

  Adding the final crimp bead and clasp piece.
  
  String a crimp bead on the wire when the bracelet is the length you want. String the other half of the bracelet clasp and pass the wire back through the crimp bead to create a loop that holds the clasp in place.
  
  
• 4). Use the crimp pliers to secure the crimp bead and hold the loop in place. Cut any excess wire with the wire cutters.
