How Do You Make A Mothers Bracelet?
A mother’s bracelet is a tribute to a woman and her children. Traditional mother’s bracelets feature children’s birthstones. The more modern look today is to spell out each child’s name in beads. Here’s how to make one. You can add your own touches such as birthstone-colored beads or pearls. Measure off about 10 inches of stringing cable. You will trim the extra cable when you’re finished. Lay out your design. Place the beads in order, measuring the distance across. The beadwork should be the size of the wrist of the person who will be wearing it, minus 1 inch for the clasp. Put a piece of tape on one end of the stringing cable to keep the beads from sliding off. String the beads onto the cable. Add a crimp tube before and after the bead on each end of the bracelet. It is best to do this after stringing all the beads, in case you want to change the design; just take the tape off and remove the last bead to add a crimp tube. Attach the clasps by threading the wire cable through the end
