Tip: The Oasis Stitch-in Links are two sided. Be sure to match sides when stringing the bracelet.

Steps

  1. Cut a 20" piece of beading wire.
  2. Thread one end through one loop of an oasis link. String on one 3mm crystal, one disk spacer and one 3mm crystal, then thread end through second link loop. Center beading wire.
  3. String one 3mm round bead onto each wire.
  4. On one side of the wire string one 4mm crystal bead, one side of one Calla bead, one 4mm crystal, one disk spacer, and one 3mm crystal. Repeat on second side of wire.
  5. Hold both wire ends together and string on one 3mm round bead, one 3mm crystal, one leaf bead, one 3mm crystal and one 3mm round bead.
  6. Separate wire ends. On one side string one 3mm crystal and one disk bead. Repeat on second side.
  7. Repeat Steps 4-6 twice.
  8. *On one side string one 4mm crystal, one side of Calla bead, one 4mm crystal, and one 3mm round bead.* Thread end of wire through one loop of second link (see Tip). String on one 3mm crystal, one disk spacer, and one 3mm crystal, then thread wire through second link loop. 
  9. Repeat * through * on other side replacing final 3mm round bead with crimp bead, then thread end through link loop and a few beads placed in Step 8.
  10. Thread wire end from Step 8 through crimp bead from opposite direction, and through a few beads.
  11. Adjust all beads and wire to take up slack and adjust tension. 
  12. Secure crimp bead with crimping pliers, taking care not to chip adjacent crystal bead. Use front notch of crimping pliers to cover crimp bead with crimp cover. Trim excess wire.
