crystal/aurora borealis
1 pkg. #61-890-06 WireLace® hollow wire mesh tubing, light blue
13½" #40-099-23-3 11mm ovalrollo chain, silver plate (cut three 4½" pieces)

6 #37-178-3 10mm round jump rings, silver plate

Tools and supplies: scissors, heavy-duty cutters, chain-nose pliers, adhesive such as Crafters Pick "The Ultimate" (#60-280)

TIPS:
* Use 10mm jump rings to attach the pieces of chain to the filigree. Secure one end of a piece of mesh to a jump ring and weave it back and forth through the chain links. Before securing the other end, add the crystal pendant, and tie a bow and several knots. Use adhesive to keep the ends from fraying.

* Pull a second piece of mesh so it is the same width as the chain portion of the bracelet. Secure the ends with necklace clamps. Glue the triangle filigree to the necklace clamp ends.
