Homemade bracelet
Here’s the easiest and most popular way to make homemade bracelets. The classic elasticated bracelet slips on and off without the need for a catch.
These practical bracelets are quick to make and will usually fit any wrist size. And with the ever increasing selection of beads and stones available, and in virtually every shape, color and material thinkable, you can be sure of making a unique and interesting necklace every time.
Materials
Beads
Anything goes, but do make sure the jewelry beads you use are not too heavy or sharp for the elastic.
Elastic
Jewellery making elastic and elasticity come in various thicknesses and colors, l usually find the 0.8mm thick elasticity in clear or black is suitable for most projects.
Elasticity is a soft and flexible bead cord which resembles nylon but stretches like elastic. It has a limber nature which makes it ideal for bracelets especially when using beads with a small hole.
Glue
I usually use super glue or clear nail varnish, both work well.
Method
Take one piece of wrist length elasticity and add your beads. Tie the elasticity together at the ends in a couple of reasonably tight knots. Glue the knot for additional security and that’s it. It couldn’t be easier.
I literally made 30 of these bracelets within an hour and a half to sell at a charity sale, they cost me just under a dollar each to make and I sold them all for 10 dollars each.
All of these bracelets have all been made using the same method; some of which have been made using left over beads.
