How to make a Ankle Bracelet with a Beading Pattern

This ankle bracelet is made with an easy pattern! Because of our wide assortment of miyuki seed beads and faceted beads, you can make a nice color combination yourself.

Start by cutting off about 35cm of the steel wire. Thread a crimp bead and the lobster clasp and go back through the crimp bead. The clasp is now in a loop. Make sure you don't put too much steel wire back through the pinch bead, or you won't have enough left to make the ankle bracelet. You can remedy this by pulling on one of the ends. Pinch the crimp bead and cut off the end, leaving one long piece for you to thread.

Now follow the steps as indicated by the pattern in the image.

In between, try on the anklet so you know if it is long enough. We used 39 faceted beads. When the ankle bracelet is sized, make sure you finish at step two. Then thread a crimp bead and the extension chain. Go back through the crimp bead again and also thread this wire through the last miyuki rocaille for a better finish. pull this tight and pinch the crimp bead. Cut off the excess thread and then your anklet is ready.
