Waves in the Sea Bracelet photo - original art from Beading Help WebCut two pieces of beading wire approximately 9" long. Attach lobster clasp to one end of both wires using a single crimp bead. String one sterling round bead on both wires - it should be snug against the crimp bead with both wires coming out evenly.

On one wire, string 5 lime green glass or crystal bicones. On the other wire, string 5 turquoise bicones. Thread both wires through a sterling round bead, and snug up against the bicones. Repeat six times, alternating sets of lime green and turquoise on the wires.

Finish by running both wires through the last round bead, the last crimp bead, the split ring and back through the crimp bead and round bead. Be sure the beads are tight against each other so the double strands are even. Crimp and trim excess wires.
