Making of the Crystal Charms
Step 1:
The Nunn Design Findings are oxidized to provide an aged look to the precious metal plating. Clean the bezels thoroughly prior to applying the glue. Dip the tip of a Q-Tip into rubbing alcohol and clean away any of the blackened oxidization from the bezels.
Step 2:
Squeeze a small amount of glue onto a piece of plastic. Dip a toothpick into the glue and smear the glue around the inside edges of the bezel. Insert a crystal chaton. If there is any excess glue that has squished out the sides, clean it up with a toothpick and rubbing alcohol.
Assembling the Bracelet
Step 3:
To attach the Organic Flat Tag, open the 9mm Textured Circle Jumpring using two pair of needle nose pliers. Hold one pair of pliers at 3 o’clock and the other at 9 o’clock. Pull one of the sets of pliers with one hand forward and the other set of pliers back to open the jumpring.
Insert onto the jumpring the Organic Flat Tag and attach it to the Toggle Ring. Hold the jumpring again at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock with the pliers. Pull one of the sets of pliers with one hand forward and the other set of pliers back to close the jumpring.
Step 4:
Using two pair of needle nose pliers, hold the 6mm Textured Circle Jumpring at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock. Pull one of the sets of pliers with one hand forward and the other set of pliers back to open the jumpring.
Add the Crystal Charm onto the jumpring and then attach jumpring to the Toggle Ring. Hold the jumpring again at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock. Pull one set of pliers forward with one hand and the other set of pliers back to close the jumpring.
