Easy DIY Bracelet Tutorial - Braided Beads



I've been obsessed with arm candies lately and decided to google tutorials and ideas. Credits for this tutorials goes to http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-beaded-bracelet/. Check out their site if you haven't already because there is a lot more tutorials.
My version of it is slightly different because I used jewelry clasps instead of a button.
So pretty much all you need is
  • Cord
  • Beads
  • Jewelry clasps





Step 1
Cut three 16" strings and tie them together in a knot on a jewelry loop like so.

Step 2
Use a piece of tape and secure the loop to a flat surface

Step 3
Insert a bead into one strand and start braiding. Each time you braid a string, insert a bead and weave the strings like pictured.

Step 4
Continue braiding the beads into the cords until you are satisfied with the length and it fits your wrist to your liking.

Step 5
Insert the strings into a jewelry clasp and tie a secure knot. If you want you can apply some glue to secure the knot and prevent the strings from coming apart.


The process takes approximately 15-20 minutes and you're done! Simple as that. I just love how simple this is and doesn't require a lot of material.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Let me know what you think and if you have a DIY bracelet tutorial, please let me know so I can check it out.
