Instructions on Construction:

1. Cut chain into 2 equal lengths, attach bead stops, thread the delica beads in a random pattern (not using more than 4 of the same color in a row) onto the first chain. until you reach your desired length for your bracelet (keep in mind length of crimp ends and clasp).

2. Repeat random pattern (does not need to be exactly the same as first strand) with the second strand of chain but only string about 1/4 to 1/3 the beads - this will create the motion effect in the bracelet. As your wrist twists, beads will move around on this strand.

3. Add a small amount of glue onto surface of crimp, lay the end of chain in the glue making sure that the chain lines up nicely in the crimp with no raw edges sticking out. When the glue has set up and it is holding the chain in place, carefully fold the two sides of the crimp over the top of the chain. You do this one side at a time, with the needle nose or flat nose plier. The finished result has the chain sandwiched inside the crimp which makes for a tidy finish.

* Repeat with chain at opposite end of bracelet.

* Repeat with second chain - match one end to the right and one to the left of the jump ring so your strands don't overlap

4. Now it is time to attach the clasp. Open the jump ring, using flat and needle nose pliers, thread on magnetic clasp and close carefully making sure that the two sides of jump ring come together neatly. 

* Repeat on other end

5. You are now ready to try on your bracelet & to admire your handiwork.

6. Enjoy!
