Green/Yellow Frog Bracelet: Project Instructions

Is it time-consuming? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely!

Create your own stunning frog charm bracelet featuring whimsical glass frog beads and green-toned glass accents. This project is perfect for practicing wire loops while making a truly unique piece of jewellery.

By working with a pre-made chain bracelet base, you’ll save time while achieving a polished look. The bronze-coloured findings add a vintage touch, making this bracelet a standout accessory.

MATERIALS REQUIRED

• 6 x Frog Glass Beads
• 21 x 11mm Green Diamond Glass Beads
• 27 x 3mm Plain Metal Beads
• 27 x 6mm Strong Jump Rings
• 27 x Head Pins
• 1 x Chain Bracelet (with pre-attached parrot clasp)

TOOLS REQUIRED

• Twirly Wirlie Pliers (for looping)
• Wire Cutters
• Crimping Pliers

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Creating the Frog Bead Drops

1. Take a head pin and thread on:
   • a plain metal bead
   • a frog glass bead (positioned "bottom down")
2. Leave 10mm of space at the top, then trim off the excess with wire cutters.
3. Using Twirly Wirlie Pliers, create a loop at the top of the bead.
4. Repeat this process for all six frog beads.

Set aside.

Step 2: Creating the Green Glass Bead Drops

1. Take a head pin and thread on:
   • a plain metal bead
   • a green diamond glass bead
2. Leave 10mm of space, trim the excess, and form a loop at the top using pliers.
3. Repeat this process until you have 21 bead drops.

Set aside.

Step 3: Attaching the Beads to the Chain

1. Open a jump ring using two pliers (since they are strong, we recommend using crimping pliers and twirly wirlie pliers).
2. While open, slide on one glass bead drop, then attach it to the chain bracelet by securing it to a link.
3. Close the jump ring securely.
4. Repeat this process, adding beads to every second link, until you have three glass bead drops attached.
5. Now, open another jump ring, slide on one frog bead drop, and attach it to the chain.
6. Close the jump ring securely.

Continue this pattern:
✔ Three glass bead drops → One frog bead drop
✔ Repeat until you reach the end of the bracelet, finishing with three glass bead drops.
