Basic Bead Bracelets

Bead bracelets are a a good place to start jewelry making for beginners because they are simple and easy to make. You can use whatever beads you have in hand or recycle an old bead bracelet, use the beads to make a brand new one.

Materials:
Beads (any color shape or size)
Spacer beads (any color shape or size)
Jewelry Beading Thread (elastic tread)
Ruler or measuring tape

Beads                                                                             Spacer Beads


Step 1: String along some beads in thread till you have the length of about 7 or 7 ½ inches. (Average wrist size)
If you want to make the bracelet base on your wrist size check out my measurement chart post on instructions on how to figure out your bracelet size.



Optional when you’re stringing the beads along you can also add spacer beads in between the regular beads just to give the bracelet a little more bling and pattern to it.

Step 2: Cut the thread and leave enough so you can tie the thread together. Afterward cut the excess thread. 

There you have it a super easy bracelet. The fun thing about this you can design the bracelet however you want to express yourself.
