Rainbow Anklet  MATERIALS- Two 14" lengths of .015" diameter bright Beadalon 19 Strand wire - One silver torpedo clasp - Two 1.3mm silver Beadalon Crimp Beads - E beads, 5 of each color: blue, red, orange, yellow, pink, green - Beadalon Wire Nipper Tool - Beadalon Crimp Tool PROJECT TIP: Exposed wire and E beads combine to produce fun and fashionable results in this little anklet. Use the same technique to make a matching necklace and bracelet. Follow the instructions on the Crimp Tool to secure the crimp beads/tubes. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Hold both Beadalon 19 Strand wires together and place a crimp bead 1/2" from the end. String the wires through half of the clasp and back into the crimp bead to form a loop. Use the Crimp Tool to secure the crimp bead. 2. Place each strand through the opposite side of a blue E bead. Pull the strands gently until the bead is vertical and the strand ends are even. Repeat the technique using a red bead. Adjust the wire between the first two beads to about 1/8"-1/4". String beads in the following color order: blue, red, orange, yellow, pink, green until the desired length is reached. 3. Hold the wire ends together and string a crimp bead 1/2" from the end. String the ends through half of the clasp and place them back into the crimp bead to form a loop. Use the Crimp Tool to again secure and finish the anklet. Designed by Katie Hacker.
