Step 1

Cut a length of grey cord measuring 50". Thread your button bead to the halfway point and knot the cords below the button. Leave a little room between the knot and button so it isn't too tightly secured.

Step 2

Cut a length of thread measuring your arms width. You will need this long length of thread to weave in and out along lengths of your wrap bracelet. This length will not complete the whole length of the bracelet.

Step 3

Secure your thread to the knot you just created with the grey cord. Do this by loosening the knot slightly and passing the thread in and around the knot until you are happy it is secure and won't unravel.

Step 4

Wrap your thread a couple of times around one of your grey cords to move your starting point a few mm's into the design.

Step 5

Start your beading by threading through one side of a tila bead. Thread down the bead and around the lower side of grey cord. Pass back up the same side of the bead. Keeping your thread tight, pass over the top cord and down the second hole in the tila bead.

Pick your Miyuki Tila beads and design your own wrap bracelet using matching cord, thread and a shining button for your clasp.

You could also create a thin wrap bracelet using your choice of little Half Tila beads.
