Making A Connector for A Box Bracelet: Part 2

This is John Mendez with Expert Village and we are going to string your connectors for the box bracelet with the square crystals and the cross beads. And we need a head pin that measures out at one and a half inches. And this is a heavier gauge, this is probably a twenty gauge head pin. So it's nice and sturdy and they come in packages, you can find them at any jewelry supplier. They get bent up because they are all in one bag so you kind of have to straighten it out a little bit. We are going to go ahead and use these cross beads. It's just a tube bead that is soldered together and there is one on top of the other to make a cross. We will just string one on at the far end and then we will take a crystal and put that on next and then another cross bead, another crystal, another cross bead, and then another crystal. And then at the very end one more cross bead. And I like to get these all prepared and line them up before you do your soldering so that they are all ready to go and then you can add your solder and just fire them all up real quick and then you are finished with them. And we will be right back with that.
