how to make your simple elastic bracelets using the instructions below.
How to make a simple beaded elastic bracelet
Step 1. Take a length of elastic measuring approximately 12 inches. Thread on around 30 beads in your chosen order or until your bracelet has enough beads to fit around your wrist. You may want to add less or more depending on your wrist size. Make sure to test this against your wrist before knotting and securing your design.
Step 2. Hold the two sides of your elastic cords together, make a loop with the double cord and pull the ends through the loop to make a knot. The two cords will exit through the top of the knot.
Step 3. Stretch the knot away from any beads and add a drop of glue or clear nail polish to the knot. Wait a few seconds for this to dry completely before letting your knot move back to sit next to the beads. Trim off the ends of the cord leaving half a centimetre on each cord. Make sure your bracelet doesnt have to stretch too tightly to move over your hand, it is better to have it slightly looser so that your elastic won't snap and the knot will hold.
How to make a double strand bracelet with your flower charm
Step 1. Take a length of elastic measuring approximately 18 inches. Thread on enough beads
you need to fit around your wrist. Thread through one loop on your flower charm.
Step 2. Thread on another section of beads, the same amount as you did for the first beads on the other side of the flower charm.
Step 3. Take the two ends of the cord and bring them around either side of the flower charm. Thread each end in opposite directions through the second hole on the flower charm. Knot the cords here a couple of times and position the knot under the loop. Add a drop of glue or clear nail polish to hold the knot securely. Trim off the ends of the cords.
