How to do a Beaded Bracelet Project


Beaded bracelet projects are fun to do. They can be quite personal since you can add your own favorite designs and colors to them. You can create bracelets to match your outfits, or give them to friends and family. There is no right or wrong way to make a bracelet. All it takes is some patience and creativity.


Things You’ll Need:

Beads of your choice
Beading wire
Clasp
Spacers
Scissors
Crimp beades



1. Browse through handmade jewelry project books, jewelry magazines, or look online to find design inspirations. Try putting different kinds of beads and colors together to come up with a design that will be personal for you, or for someone special if it will be a gift. Cut out some of your favorite pictures or take snapshots of your favorite color combinations so that you can look at them while creating your project.



2. Gather some of your favorite designed or colored beads. Decide if the bracelet will be a stretch bracelet or have a clasp. Measure the length of your wrist so that you will know how much stringing material you will need and how many beads you will need to fit around it.
