TIPS:
* The large-hole 6mm beads make an interesting design element, since you can string the bead chain and all three strands of beading cable through the beads at once.

* The beading chain helps add structure. Use super glue on the crimps to make sure they hold well.

* Customize the bracelet size by using more or less chain. Open the links and use like a jump ring.
