Connect the fragments together into a bracelet.

Sew through the second holes in the C1 and add R. The outer arch consists of 12 R1. Add 2x R1 and 1x R2 on both sides of the fastening. Thread the line through an eye on the fastening. Thread 2x R1 into the gap between the C1. String 1x R1 between the C1 from the neighbouring fragments. Sew together this R1 and the R1 in the gaps between the C1 and the C1 between them. Add 2x R1 when sewing above them.
