Jewelry findings are the hidden gems in your bead stash and can be much more than just the elements that connect your jewelry together. This chunky bracelet is made up entirely of daisy spacers and spacer bars - a totally unique piece of jewelry. If you can't find all the sizes of daisy spacers I've used at your local bead shop, you might like to try my Australian sources: Feeling Inspired (www.feelinginspired.com.au) and All About Beads (www.allaboutbeads.com.au)

Insert an eye pin through the end hole of a spacer bar. String on the daisy spacers in the following order: 8mm, 7mm, 6mm, 5mm, 4mm and 3mm.
String a 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm spacer and then insert the eye pin through the end hole of another spacer bar.
Insert another eye pin through the middle hole of the first spacer bar and string daisy spacers in the following order: 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm and 8mm.
Finish stringing the eye pin in reverse order. Insert the eye pin through the middle hole of the second spacer bar.
Repeat the stringing pattern in Steps 1 and 2, inserting the eye pin through the last end hole of each spacer bar.
Bend the end of each eye pin at a 90° angle close to the spacer bar and trim it to 3/8".
Turn a simple loop on each one. Create 5 of these nugget components in total.
Open the eye loops of one nugget component and connect it to the corresponding eye loops of another component. Repeat with all the nugget components so that you have a length of five components.
Open a jump ring and attach the outside loop of the 3-loop end connector to the outside loop of the first nugget component in the chain. Repeat with the two remaining loops. Attach the second 3-loop end connector to the other end of the bracelet. Connect four jump rings together forming a chain. Attach one end of the chain to the loop of the first connector and the other end to the bar of the toggle clasp. Attach the remaining jump ring to the other3-loop end connector and hook on the ring part of the toggle clasp.
