Follow these steps to make your wrap bracelet that can also be used as a component in the customisable necklace design.

1: Add two of the crimp beads and a jump ring to one end of the tiger tail wire.

2: Loop the wire back through the jump ring and through the crimps.

3: Squash the crimp beads using the flat nose pliers.

4: Add beads to the wire in your pattern of choice.

5: Once you have the length you want, add the remaining crimp beads to the end of the wire and the other jump ring.

6: Loop the wire around the jump ring and back through the crimps and the first few beads. Pull the wire tight.

7: Squash the crimp beads using the flat nose pliers.

8: Trim the excess wire.

9: Attach a lobster clasp to either end of the beaded strand by opening each jump ring and sliding them on. Make sure you close the jump ring again to secure the clasps in place.

Now your convertible bracelet/customisable necklace strand is finished. How will you wear yours?
