The Citrus Bracelet is an absolutely lush combination of T-Beads Artist Glass beads, Swarovski Crystal, and TierraCast components! A major design feature included in this design is the use of the TierraCast 2 loop Daisy Links which enables you to hang beads off the loops of the link after stringing the bead link, instantly opening up the design.

This design works with your choice of colors ~ make it as shown OR choose your favorite T-Beads Bead Set, Crystal Colors and TierraCast components! The choice is yours!
How to make it ~ Using the crystal beads, the round metal beads, the headpins and 6mm Daisy 2 loop links, randomly create dangles stacked on the headpins and then hang them from the loops of the Daisy links. 3 dangles are fairly easy to fit, 4 dangles may be a bit tight but it can be done. (The design shown has 4 dangles hanging from each daisy loop. If you want to hang 3 dangles from each loop you will need fewer headpins.) Once you have finished hanging all the beads from the Daisy links, simply string the bracelet and attach the clasp!
Note on the headpins ~ use 24 gauge if you will be making wrapped loops. If you plan to make a basic loop, use a heavier gauge headpin.
