The child-sized bracelets use bright 6/0 beads and each bead is a party If you are making these bracelets with your child, you will need to help them thread the needle. A long, finer needle and fine thread offers more clearance while weaving and are less apt to pierce the warp thread. It is also less likely to come unthreaded while weaving. The child can use the sharp end of the needle forward rather than backward, which is usually recommended as you are less likely to poke your hand this way. You can also sand the sharp end of the needle with sandpaper to dull the tip. You can always choose to use a heavier needle with a larger eye as long as it fits through the beads. We recommend tying the thread to the needle in this case or the thread will likely come unthreaded while weaving.
Set the loom approximately 6 1/6 inches apart for 55 rows of 8/0 seed beads. Follow the pattern in the above PDF to create the shorter, wider bracelet. Make the button for the bracelet using the dot stitch technique. Make the loop to fit the button on the other end of the bracelet. Weave any remaining thread back into the bracelet and knot the ends.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
