How Do You Make A Beaded Bracelet?
If you like arts and crafts you should definitely try making your own beaded bracelets. It’s fun and can get your creative juices flowing. If you develop a skill for it you might be able to sell them to people. Fashion either a wrist or ankle bracelet. Step 1 jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery(‘#jsArticleStep1 span.image a:first’).attr(‘href’,’http://i.ehow.com/images/ehows/steps/beadbracelet1_L.jpg’); }); Choose a length for your bracelet and purchase that much beading thread (plus a few extra inches). A standard wrist bracelet length is approximately 7 inches. Add two or three inches to the length for an ankle bracelet. Step 2 jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery(‘#jsArticleStep2 span.image a:first’).attr(‘href’,’http://i.ehow.com/images/ehows/steps/beadbracelet2_L.jpg’); }); Choose beads for your bracelet. They can be all one size or varying sizes. Choose spacer beads (the small beads that go in between the larger beads) as well. Step 3 Choose findings for your bracelet.
Beaded bracelets can be very fun to make. They also make great gifts. If you don’t know where to start, here’s the place. • Take the yarn or string and cut a piece off to fit your wrist loosely. • Leave 1-1.5 inches extra at the beginning and 1 inch at the end. • Tie a double knot at the end of the string, or tie a knot to secure one end of a metal clasp. Depending on bead hole size, extra knots may be needed. • Take your first bead and pull the string through the hole. • Continue to do this until you have 1 inch left of the string. If you have a metal clasp, knot it onto the string or yarn. Otherwise, tie a secure knot at the end. Tie or clasp on to your wrist.
