Beaded Bracelets

The bracelets are very pretty. The wire compliments the beads and I love the outcome.

Get a piece of wire 3x the length of your wrist and fold it in half. Get a second much shorter piece of wire and wrap it around your closure. Fold in the sharp edges of the wrapped wire so it doesn't scratch. I recommend using pliers.

It can be really helpful to plan out your bracelet especially if you're using a patten. I've made many of these bracelets and the ones I planned always turn out the best as you can find the most complimentary and aesthetically pleasing beads.

The basic layout to the bracelet is 2 smaller beads 1 larger bead. I used beads of a certain size so that the wire was visible however this is preference. Place the smaller beads on the wires individually and the larger bead on both wires. If unsure the photos should explain.

I've inserted 2 progress photos hopefully this makes it clearer as to how the beads are threaded.

Once the bracelet reaches your desired length wrap a third piece of wire. This should secure the final bead in place. Wrap the wire in the same way you did to start the bracelet. Cut off the excess wire and tuck in to avoid scratches.

Twist the original 2 strands of wire over your pliers to create a loop and cut off excess. The loop created will fit into the original opening and will act as the opening for your bracelet.

I love these bracelets so much. I really hope you like them too. Thankyou.
