First you'll need to prepare the materials and make sure you have everything ready!
The first step, cut your elasitc cord to 9 1/2 inches. Place a BeadStopper at the end of the cord and start stringing the Agate Gemstones,SAGT063, on the cord. Our finished bracelet measures a little over 7 inches finished and we used 16 of those beads total. Start by stringing on half of the beads, about 8 beads, then add the TierraCast bail, P5628GA. String on the other 8 beads then add the Pave bead last. **Please make sure that you're using enough beads so the bracelet fits you or your client. All wrist are different and this sample bracelet was measured to 6 inch wrist.**
Using the BeadStopper, make sure this bracelet fits to your liking before tying the knot on the elastic cord. Once you've got the right size, tie the knot on the elastic cord. Make sure you're keeping the beads nice and close and you're making the knot durable and tight. Before cutting the access elastic, add a bit of glue on the knot. Wait for that to dry, then pull the cord through a bead to hide the knot. Then cut the left over cord, add the Tree of Life charm, P2303GA, to the bail using a oval jump ring, P0018GA, and your bracelet is done. |
