And just to prove how versatile this range is, you can also find it in our ‘Wedding Special’ feature and used to make a Father’s Day card in our ‘make a Father’s Day card’ challenge!

Step by Step
1
Take 19 gold jump rings and connect them together in a long chain, closing each ring. Connect a pair of jump rings to the 3rd ring in the chain, so that the 3rd ring is at the centre of a cross. Repeat this for the 4th to 17th rings in the chain. See diagram in the downloads section.
2
Lay your chain out flat, left to right, so that you have 8 rings sticking out above the chain, and 8 sticking out below. Cut a length of gold beading wire about 12cm long, and make a small loop at one end by passing the end through a crimp bead and back, then squashing the crimp flat.
3
Thread one of the wires alternately through a bead and one of the rings sticking out above the chain, with beads in this order: 1 small black stone round, 3 white pearls, 1 large stone, 3 pearls, 1 small stone. Thread the wire through a crimp bead, around the last ring in the chain, then back through the crimp and secure by squashing the crimp. Trim any spare beading wire. Repeat with another length of wire along the opposite side of the chain.
4
Attach equal length sections of chain from the starter pack to each end of the beaded chain, to make the bracelet the required length. Finish by using jump rings to connect the two halves of a toggle clasp to the ends of the bracelet.
