What you will need:
- Assorted seed beads

- 2 silver crimp beads
- 1 silver clasp
- 1 silver jump ring
- Wire cutters

Step 1
Cut 10 inches of beading wire with the wire cutters. (You can also make this a anklet, just cut 12 inches of wire. You'll have extra.)
Step 2
String a crimp bead and then the clasp on one end of the wire
Step 3
Thread the end of the wire through the crimp to form a loop around the ring of the clasp (Step 7)
Step 4
Using the round nose pliers, squeeze the crimp flat
Step 5
Decide on a beading pattern for your bracelet and start beading...
....and keep beading...
and beading...
Until you have reached your desired length (for a bracelet usually 7 inches and for an anklet 10-12 inches)
Step 6
String on a crimp bead and then the jump ring
Step 7
Make a loop by threading the end of the wire through the crimp bead (Step 3)
Step 8
Pull the loop tight, making sure all the wire is covered with beads
Step 9
Using the round nose pliers, squeeze the crimp tight, securing the end
Step 10
Trim the remaining wire with the wire cutters and tuck the little end through the previous bead so it doesn't poke you
And tada! Now you have your very own seed bead bracelet or anklet!!
Wear it proudly and tell everyone you made it!!
