Continue the pattern from Step Four until you have all of the top-drilled Swarovski crystals and all of the rondells on your wire. Each end of the bracelet should have a Rondelle next to the 6mm Swarovski crystal. Finish the bracelet by adding the Twisted Tornado crimp, the French wire and the clasp. Pass the stringing wire back through the crimp and the 6 mm crystal. This can be a little tricky, but you'll need to make sure you have a lot of tension on the wire before you crimp. Push the crystals down the wire and hold them tightly in place before you close the crimp. This will create enough tension on the wire to hold the crystals in their zig zag position.
