A crystal flatback accent on a TierraCast blank charm looks so nice alongside the moon and star!
Glue your flatback to the blank charm and allow to dry.
Attach 1 jump ring to each of the moon and star charms. Set aside.
Cut cord into 3 equal pieces. Align strands and insert the 3 ends into 1 crimp end. Squeeze firmly with parallel or flat nose pliers to secure. (Hint: squeeze from both sides and top.) Test hold carefully and use pliers again if needed. (Optional: apply a small amount of adhesive inside crimp end for added security.)
Braid strands together about 1 3/4", then thread 1 barrel bead onto all 3 strands.
String moon charm, blank charm, and star charm onto center strand of cord, then string on second barrel bead.
Position barrel beads 1 1/4" apart, then use parallel or flat nose pliers to secure in place, squeezing just enough to keep them from sliding.
Braid strands for another 1 3/4", the place a paper clip over end of braid. Trim cord ends evenly about 1/4" from clip.
Insert ends into second crimp end and secure with pliers.
Cluster charms at center and use front notch of crimping pliers to secure 1 crimp cover over center cord 1/4" from barrel bead. (Hint: try to keep the crimp cover opening to underside of bracelet.) Secure second crimp cover 1/4" from second barrel bead.
Secure two more crimp covers on either side of the center charm, spacing them evenly between the first two.
Use 1 jump ring to attach clasp ring at one end. Use 2 jump rings to attach clasp bar at other end.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
