Turquoise Charm Bracelet
This simple bracelet is so easy to make and is a great way to use your favourite beads!
Step by step instructions
For super-fast, high strength, high quality bonds we recommend Devcon 5 minute epoxy glue.
Prepare the glue by mixing equal amounts of the resin and hardener in a small dish. Use a fine point such as a cocktail stick to dab a bit of glue onto the cap of the peg and gently place it in the half-drilled hole in the turquoise bead.
Once mixed, the glue sets in 5 minutes so ensure you set your pearl straight away. Gently place it down and leave it to set.

Using flat nose or snipe nose pliers open the 3.5mm sterling silver jump ring and loop halfway down the bracelet.
Your bracelet is now complete and ready to wear!
