Stamping on the Tagua Nut:

1. Using the rubber stamp and black Staz-On Ink, stamp the design on the Tagua Nut.  Let dry.
2. Add additional color with the alcohol ink by using a small detail paint brush. Simply dab a small amount of ink onto the areas using the brush. Let dry.

Assembling the Bracelet:

1. Hook a large jump ring through the holes of the Tagua Nut button and close it. Set aside.
2. Close 2 large jump rings. Connect and close 2 more large jump rings through both closed jump rings. Using 28 large jump rings: keep connecting them together 2 at a time to make 16 links.
3. Now, add one more large jump ring through both jump rings at the end of your chain and also through the jump ring of your Tagua Nut, and close.
4. Repeat this process for the other half of the bracelet.
5. Hook and close a small jump ring to the bar half of your clasp. Then use another small jump ring to connect the clasp and one end of the chain together and close. 
6. Use 1 small jump ring to connect the other half of your clasp to the other end of the bracelet and close.
7. Feed one glass bead onto a head pin. Bend the head pin at a right angle at the top of the bead. Use the wire cutters to cut the head pin leaving about a ¼”. Use the round nose pliers to make a loop wit the ¼” of head pin. Don’t close the loop all the way.
8. Repeat step 7 until you have made 21 bead charms. Use this same technique to turn the copper accent beads into charms too.
9. Now attach all the charms you made to each link of jump rings on your bracelet. You should have a total of 28 charms; one on each link.
