Hi this is Tracy Gonzales from TierraCast
and I'm here at beadaholique.com to show you how to make this wrapped in love
bracelet. This is a triple wrapped bracelet made of ten millimeter rubber
with a nice Tribuckle and a charm
the supplies you'll need to create this project are 24 to 25 inches of ten
millimeter rubber strap
a 1/2 inch TierraCast tribuckle,
a 6.8 millimeter eyelet
ten 3.7 millimeter eyelets
two of our TierraCast washers that work with the eyelets,
a winged heart charm, a ten millimeter red bead
two round jump rings and a 2-inch head pin
the tools you'll need are two pair of chain or flat nose pliers,
a pair round nose pliers, flush cutters
hole punching pliers, the TierraCast eyelet setter and
anvil, a hammer, scissors,
a ruler and a pencil. The first thing you're going to do
is thread one end of your ten millimeter strap
through the smaller slot of the tribuckle with the ridge side
up. There is a ridge on one side of the tribuckle and fold that over about
3/4 of an inch
use the
leather punching pliers on the smallest setting to make a hole
through both layers of the strap about
half an inch back from the folded edge of the strap. Next you're going to take
the 6.8 millimeter eyelet
I'm gonna try to this one handed because I'm holding my
strap in position with the other. You're going to
thread one of the washers onto the eyelet and then
put that through the holes in the rubber the top side down
and then put the second washer on the back
squeeze that altogether
then you're going to put the whole thing flange side down. The flange is the
flat side of the eyelet
flange side down onto the eyelet setting
anvil. Set the eyelet center
onto the back and set it with a hammer
looks like it needs a little bit more setting
after you've got that set, to measure your bracelet for length
wrap it three times around your wrist
and through the Tribuckle
you wanna make sure that you leave a tail of about two inches
and if you have more than that you can trim that
after you're done with the project. The next thing you want to do is determine
where your decorative
eyelets are going to go along the bracelet. You wanna space them about
every one and three quarters to two inches apart depending on the overall length of
your bracelet
I've gone ahead and made marks
every one and three-quarter inches and then I'm just going to make a hole using
the
hole punching pliers at every mark. Now you're going to set
one of the 3.7 millimeter eyelets
At each one of the holes put the eyelet through with the flange on the top
set it upside down onto the eyelet setting and anvil
and set it with the setter
and repeat that
with the remaining eyelets in all of the holes
After you've got all of your eyelets set
you're going to thread the bead onto the
head pin, form a simple loop
use your jump rings to attach the red bead and the charm
to the tribuckle
and there you go
Wrapped in Love bracelet. Again this is Tracy Gonzalez, guest designer for
