Hammered Silver Cross Bracelet Materials Checklist:

• Dark Brown Suede Cording
• Silver Cross Charm
• Metal Toggle Silver rope 10mm
• Silver colored Cord Ends
• 4 mm Silver Jump Rings
•  Silver Plated Wire 22 Gauge

(The following instructions are for a 7-inch long cross bracelet.)

Step 1: Cut two lengths of dark brown suede cord that each measure 5 inches long (leave a little extra room on the end if you’ll be following my next tip!).

Step 2: Place each length of cord through each opening in the cross charm

TIP! Cut the cord at an angle to make it easier to slide into the charm!

Step 3: Cut a section of 22 gauge wire and wrap tight around the suede cord at the base of the cross charm. Repeat this process on the other side of the charm as well.

Step 4: Place the cord ends on the end of the suede cord and press them down securely with pliers. Repeat this process for the other end of the cross bracelet as well.

Step 5: To finish, attach a 4mm jump ring to the cord end and attach bar toggle clasp.

And you’re done! Enjoy your beautifully crafted accessory.
