Beaded Bracelets


BEADED BRACELETS


Also known as Elastic Beaded Bracelets or Stretch beaded bracelets.  These bracelets are very easy to make and also easy to wear. And they will last long if you use right choice of glue, cord and beads, which are meant for jewelry making and not for other crafts.


Material needed:
  • Beads
  • Glue
  • Elastic cord
  • Spacer beads
  • Charms 
  • Scissors

Tips for making: 
  • Use surgeon knot to close the ends of cord.
  • Stretch the cord before you start adding the beads to it.
  • Add jewelry making quality glue on the knot and my choice is E6000. 
  • Let the glue dry completely before trying the bracelet on your hands.
  • Do not stretch the bracelet to wear. So select the width of bracelet as to roll it into the wrist.
  • Use elastic cord which are meant for jewelry making and not for other crafts. I prefer Stretch magic elastic cord. 
  • Select the thickness of elastic cord based on the size and weight of beads.
  • Add some spacer beads and a charm in between beads to have more attractive and pretty bracelets.
