Attaching your tiger tail to the box clasp and crimps

Cut 3 lengths of tiger tail at 30cm each. Thread a crimp onto the tiger tail about 3cm from the end and pass the 3cm end of the tiger tail through 1 loop on 1 side of your box clasp. Pass the 3cm end of the tiger tail back through the crimp.

Securing the crimp

Using the groove nearest the handle on the crimping pliers, press the crimp tightly shut. Now, using the groove furthest from the handle, press the crimp again so that it is folded neatly in half. Repeat with the other 2 tiger tail strands on the remaining 2 fastening loops on the same side of your box clasp.

Attaching the beads

On each of the 3 tiger tail strands add 3 cerise miracle beads.

Attaching a spacer

Pass 1 strand of tiger tail through each hole on one of your spacers. Ensure that you thread the tiger tail through the correct holes i.e. the central strand through the central hole and so on.

Attaching the remaining beads

Add 3 turquoise moon beads to each strand of tiger tail followed by another spacer. Alternate between cerise and turquoise beads separated by spacers finishing with cerise. You should have 5 blocks of cerise and 4 blocks of turquoise.

Finishing the bracelet

Add a crimp to each length of tiger tail after the last beads added. Pass each end of tiger tail through the joining hole on the remaining side of your box clasp. Pass the tiger tail back through the crimp and secure as you did in step 2. Trim any excess tiger tail.

Your finished item should look something like this.
