Inspired by a Japanese Maple tree's glorious fall red colors, I used 3 different colored crystals in this project but you could use a different color for each flower or use the same color for the whole thing. As in nature, I wanted to add some shading dimension thus the 3 different colors.

Instructions
Step 1
Cut a 10" piece of wire and load six 4mm crystals onto the wire, sliding them toward the center of the wire forming a circle. Use nylon jaw pliers to straighten the wire if needed.

Step 2
Crisscross the wire and pull the top wire back and down half way between the crystals (between crystals 3 and 4). Pull other wire end straight.

Step 3
Slide a crystal onto the wire and pull straight, gently pushing the crystal into the center space.

Step 4
Push the wire end underneath between the 2 crystals. This locks the wire down functioning like a knot. Push the wire, do not pull it using your fingers. Use pliers for this step if needed.

Step 5
Once you've tightened the "knot" pull the wires straight up and make a wrapped loop on each end. I made messy wrapped loops for this project. Make 5 flowers.

Step 6
Create crystal connector links by making wrapped loops using the 6mm crystals. Make 4 of these links.

Step 7
Connect the crystal connector links to the flower links using jump rings. I made small red jump rings in the project. [You can find a tutorial on making your own jump rings in our video section.]

Step 8
Finish off by attaching a lobster clasp to one bracelet end and a jump ring to the other bracelet end.
