How to Make a Bow Bracelet with Crystal and Pearl Beads

The combination of crystal glass beads and pearl beads has been very popular in making jewelry, especially jewelry for brides. Today I made an easy crystal bow bracelet, and I added some pearl ornaments on the crystal bow, making it more elegant. Let's see the detailed steps below.

Supplies in making the crystal bow bracelet:

4mm Glass Pearl Beads
6mm Crystal Faceted Glass Beads
4mm Crystal Faceted Glass Beads
2mm Transparent Seed Beads
0.38mm Tiger Wire
Iron Jump Rings
Lobster Clasp
Bead Tips
Scissors
Round Nose Plier

Instructions on making the crystal bow bracelet:

Step 1: Make basic half bow pattern

1st, snip off a piece of tiger wire(about 50cm) and slide 2 6mm glass beads, a 4mm glass bead, and a 6mm glass bead to the middle of the wire;
2nd, cross one end through the 6mm bead on other side, and continue with another 3 6mm glass beads, a 4mm glass bead, a 6mm glass bead, then thread the wire through the second 6mm glass bead and tighten;
3rd, cross both wires through a 6mm glass bead and tighten up.

Step 2: Make the middle part

1st, slide a 4mm glass bead to each wire, and cross the wires through a brass spacer;
2nd, continue to slide a 4mm glass bead to each wire, and cross them again through a 6mm glass bead.

Step 3: Make another half bow pattern

1st, slide 2 6mm glass beads, a 4mm glass bead and a 6mm glass bead to one wire, and then thread the wire through the first 6mm glass bead that you've just slid;
2nd, slide 2 6mm glass beads, a 4mm glass bead and a 6mm glass bead to the other wire, and thread the wire through the first 6mm bead you've just slid;
3rd, cross both wires through another 6mm glass bead and tighten up.

Step 4: Add pearl ornament on the bow

1st, thread the wire back along the 2 beads on sides in the square pattern on itself and add a 4mm pearl bead to each wire, then thread the way along to the half bow on the left;
2nd, add 4mm pearl bead to the symmetric position as shown in the picture;
3rd, thread the wire through along and finally slide 2 glass seed beads to each wire and cross through a 4mm pearl bead;
4th, add 2 2mm glass seed beads to each wire and then thread the wire through the pearl bead and the glass bead to the other half bow;
5th, cross the wires through the 6mm glass bead as shown in the 5th picture and then add 2 2mm glass seed beads to each wire, cross the wires through a 4mm pearl bead, and add another 2 2mm seed beads to each wire again, and finally thread the wire through the bead at fringe and trim off the excessive wires.

Step 5: Finish the crystal bow bracelet

1st, snip off a piece of tiger wire, thread it through the back of the bow, slide about 16 4mm pearl beads at each side, and then trim off the extra;
2nd, attach bead tips, cross chain and lobster clasp and finish the bracelet.
