Beginner-Friendly Bead Bracelet Designs – Made with Silicone Beads

Materials:

• Elastic cord or Nylon cord
• Silicone Beads

Instructions:

1. Measure Your Wrist: Cut a piece of elastic cord about 10 inches long if it is elastic cord (adjust based on wrist size, 3 inches longer than your wrist size) or around 20/25 inches long it is nylon cord (the longer the cord the easier it is to tie the knot tighter).
2. Choose Elastic Cord or Nylon Cord: Choose your preferred cord: elastic or nylon
3. String the Beads: Thread your chosen beads onto the elastic/nylon cord. You can use a single type of bead or create a simple repeating pattern or you can combine colors/shapes.
4. Tie the Knot: Once you’ve added enough beads, tie a tight knot with the ends of the cord. (Double Knot)
5. Trim Excess: Cut off any excess elastic cord, and your bracelet is ready to wear!
6. If Using Nylon Cord Secure the Ends: If using nylong cord you need to secure the ends.Take the ends of your cord and run your lighter over them to secure the ends – for about 1-2 seconds, This keeps the cord from tearing.

Tips:

• For a more secure knot, use a surgeon’s knot or double knot.
