Festive Beaded Bracelet

Create this simple beaded bracelet, perfect to wear, gift or sell for the festive period, with our easy step by step tutorial.

Step 1: Cut the elastic

Cut the elastic bead cord to approximately 60cm in length. Attach the first bead (my choice was Gold) and move it into the centre of the cord.

Step 2: Attach the beads

Attach a bead to either side of the first bead.

Step 3: Loop through

Feed your next bead onto one end of the cord, then feed the other end of cord through the beads from opposite side. Pull both cord ends until the bead meets the other beads and can move no further.

Step 4: Attach more beads

Attach a bead to either side of the cord and repeat step 2.

Step 5: Repeat

Repeat the pattern until you reach the required length.

Step 6: End on two beads

To finish the pattern end on two beads.

Step 7: Finish

Feed one end of the cord through the very first bead you used. Pull tight then tie both ends of cord together securely and cut them. You can use a knotter tool to do this if you prefer and your bracelet is complete.
