Instructions:
- Use 1 inch of Soft Flex® Craft Wire to create an "S" link. Use Round Nose Pliers to hold one end of the wire and form a loop toward the center. Repeat on the other side of the wire, making sure to form the loop in the opposite direction in order to form the "S" shape. Repeat to make thirty-nine "S" links. Try to make each side of the "S" link as even as possible. Sort into three piles of thirteen "S" links.
- Cut three 10 inch lengths of wire in each of the three colors. Make three groupings, with one strand of each color.
- Use two colored wires from one grouping and weave through one pile of thirteen "S" links, leaving at least a 2 inch tail of wire on either side to attach to the clasp using a crimp tube later. The woven piece will curl. Use the third color to weave back through the 13 “S” links in the opposite direction, through the middle of the first two colored wires. This will straighten out the woven piece.
- Repeat Step 3 two more times, until you have three total woven pieces.
- Cut 4 feet of your favorite of the three colors. Line up all three of the woven pieces, side-by-side. Cross weave the wire leaving about a 2 inch tail. Keep the wire that you are weaving as straight as possible, weave at a steady even pace. Knot the tail on either end. Flicker a flame on the knot to secure it (by melting the nylon).
- Use three strands from one woven piece (Step 3) to string 1 crimp tube and the loop of the clasp. Pass back through the tube and crimp. Repeat twice using the ends from each woven piece, then repeat for the other ends of the bracelet. There will be 3 crimps attaching the bracelet on each side of the 3-strand clasp.
