Instructions on handmade beaded bracelets:

Step 1: Make the 1st beaded part

This post aims at demonstrating how you can make handmade beaded bracelets in a simple way while

introducing some of inexpensive jewelry making materials into your crafts.

1. Cut a 100cm long nylon wire and fold in half;

2. Tie the thread to the loop of a toggle using

the Larks Head Knot;

3. Insert one end of the wire through a bead,

and the second end in the opposite direction;

4. Add one acrylic bead onto each cord end.

Cross the two ends again through a new bead;

5. Keep adding beads and weaving like this until

you have reached the desired length. All beads

added in the pattern are random and irregular;

6. When two working ends exit at the last

bead, tie an overhand knot to secure in place;

7. Slide on the matching T-bar of the toggle

and affix by tying another knot. Pull the cords

tautly;

8. After you have secured the bar firmly, trim

off all leftover cord ends and melt them using

a lighter.

Step 2: bead the 2nd part

1. Take another strand of string. Attach it to the

toggle and add the 1st bead in same way;

2. Pass the below end through the adjacent bead in

the first pattern. On the other end, string on another

acrylic bead. Finally, cross the wire through another

piece. Tighten the cord and this will be the basic

beading method in the 2nd pattern;

3. Repeat the above step to the desired length;

4. Add on T-bar as before.

Take the item and wear on your wrist as soon as possible. It’s so cute and I really love it!

materials are just common acrylic beads without a

splendid gloss and a delicate cut, the final results

are amazingly fabulous and amusing! Hope you will

love it.
