This is an inspiration project using some of the many components available in a DIY jewelry making kit from The Bead Llama. Remember, beads will vary in each kit, so choose the beads you like the best in your kit to make this design your own.
Refer to your Technique Guide for Stretch Bracelets [pdf] and our online technique videos for extra help.
Please note that you will need your favorite pair of scissors or cutters for this project. Cut a length of stretch cord long enough to fit around your wrist, plus extra length for easy knotting. Add a bead stopper to one end of the cord (see our technique guide for further help).
Add a twisted beading needle to the other end of your cord. This will make it easier to add beads to the cord (see our technique guide for further help).
Add a pattern of beads to the cord until the bracelet is the desired length. Refer to the image if you would like to take inspiration from our pattern.
Secure the stretch bracelet with a surgeon’s knot (see our technique guide for further help). Add glue to the knot and allow to dry. Hide the tails of the cord in the beads if possible and trim with scissors or cutters.
Note: Please make sure to double check our list of components with what's actually in stock on the supplies tab.
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!
