A fun whimsical bracelet  The gunmetal creates an awesome backdrop for these vibrant lucite flowers and leaves. The darkness of the metal allows you to really play with color.  There is plenty of room for more embellishment and this would also make a spectacular necklace.

Step 1: Attach the stacked flowers to the sapphire filigree.  Do this by feeding one capri blue crystal, one red spike flower and one olive beech leaf on to a head pin.  Feed the head pin down through the center of the filigree piece and turn a loop in the back.  Feed another capri blue bicone on to a head pin then feed a sapphire winkie flower and turn a loop.  Attach this to the side of the filigree piece.  Using a jump ring attach the orange beech leaf to the filigree piece next to the flower dangle.

Step 2: Cut six 2.5 inch pieces of the long & short chain and four 2.5 inch pieces of the twisted bar chain.  Using jump rings attach the pieces of chain to the filigree piece.  Start by attaching one piece of long & short chain to the center of one side.  To either side of the first chain attach the twisted bar chain pieces and next to them attach  two more pieces of the long & short chain.

Step 3: Attach the remaining chain pieces to the other side of the filigree in the same order.  Using jump rings attach the chain ends to the 5-strand pinch clasp.
