How to make DIY Clay Bead Bracelets
Steps for Clay Bead Bracelets
In the first step, cut a piece of string that is long enough to wrap around your wrist and has few extra inches for tying.
Step 2: Stretch the length of your cord in a careful manner. This stops it from becoming stretched out over the course of time.
Step 3: Attach a bead stopper to one end of the cord in order to prevent beads from losing their grip on the cord.
Proceed to the fourth step, which is to thread your chosen beads onto the elastic, and then check the fit of the bracelet by repeatedly looping it around your wrist.
Remove the bead stopper and tie a square knot once you have finished threading the beads. This is the fifth step. To keep the knot in place, use a very small amount of jewelry glue.
Cut away any excess elastic in the sixth step.
Tips for making beaded bracelets
It is recommended that you use twice as much cord as is required for your bracelet and then fold it in half to make it more robust.
When it comes to beading, fastening the end of your cord with a clamp or a piece of tape is an excellent option.
How many clay beads make a bracelet?
You will need between 100 and 140 clay beads to make one bracelet for an adult. In most cases, we do not use so many clay beads because we prefer to combine them with different types of beads.
What string do you use for clay bead bracelets?
Using a clear elastic cord such as Stretch Magic is something that we advocate. In addition to being the simplest to thread through the small holes, it stretches smoothly, which means that you won’t need to add any clasps other closure components to the item. When searching for a thread, be sure you look for one that can pass through the holes in your beads.
How do you tie a clay bead bracelet?
Following the application of all of your beads and the tying of the elastic cord into a knot, apply a small amount of glue to the knot. Because of this, the thread will not slip, which is a process that may be extremely frustrating.
Have a good time creating a wide range of distinct patterns with your beads. You are able to accomplish this by creating some larger portions of colors, changing colors with each bead, adding gold beads in specific locations, and personalizing them with lettered beads! Considering what color combinations would look best when worn in a stack was something that we enjoyed doing, and we proceeded from there.
