Quick Bracelet

I made this cute bracelet and decided I would show it off. It was real easy to make and didn't take long at all.
First I rounded up the beads and crystals I wanted to use and a kit that included the wire and the clasp ends. One clasp end was already hooked to the wire so all I had to do was to slip the beads and crystals on the wire in the order I wanted them and fasten off the other end. It is so cute and dainty.

Such a great bracelet. One question? How do you judge how large to make it? I either make it too small or too big...is there an easy way to measure? thanks

What I do is measure the bracelet part plus the ends that connect to the beads, then add the length of the clasp and come up with the total length. Like, if I need a 7 1/2 inch bracelet after it is closed, and the clasp is 1/2 inch, I make everything else 7 inches for a total of 7 1/2.
I hope that makes sense.
I find it easier to measure a bracelet that I know fits me. Just close the clasp and measure the distance around it. Then make the new one the same size.
I lay a 12 inch ruler down with my beads and measure the length as I work.

Your braclet is so dainty, I love it.
Beading is one craft I have never tried.
Maybe it is time I started, a pretty braclet would be nice to start with.
TFS.
Hugs,
Sue.
