How to Use the EZ Bracelet Sizer

 

The EZ sizer works because it takes into account the size 
of your beads. 
 

1.  For an average 7" bracelet, cut 10" of beading wire (3"
     longer than the overall bracelet size). 
 
2.  Tape one end, string beads onto the wire and then tape
     the other end.
 
3.  Choose a measuring line on the EZ bracelet that will
     allow for easy muscle movement of the wrist.  Typically
     1/2" is sufficient.  So, if your wrist measures 7", use the
     7 1/2" line.
 
4.  Hold the string of beads around the EZ bracelet at the
    chosen line.  Leave space for the clasp, usually about
     3/4".
 
5.  Determine wheather you need to add or remove some
     beads.
 
6.  Attach the clasp to the bracelet with the crimp beads.
     Rather than crimping at this point, flatten the crimp 
     beads with a chain nose pliers.  (The pointy pliers with 
     the smooth jaws). 
 
7.  Place the assembled bracelet over the EZ bracelet to see
     if it fits your chosen measurement line. 
 
8.  If it fits, then go ahead and crimp the crimp beads with
     your crimping pliers.
 
9.  If it still isn't right, re-open the crimp beads using the 
     outer jaw of the crimping tool, (i.e. the jaw closest to 
     the tip).  To do this, place the flattened crimp bead
     vertically in the outer jaw and squeeze gently. Remove
     the crimp, add or remove beads and try again.
