One of the most common materials used in making bracelets is what is called stretch . As the name indicates the plastic type material 'stretches' allowing you to make a bracelet to the desired size of your wrist. You stretch the bracelet over your hand which is wider than your wrist and the bracelet fits snuggly on your wrist.
- Cut the stretch to desired length. The length of the average bracelet is about 50cm as with necklaces we allow an extra 30% so work with say 70cm.
- Plan the design and colour arrangement you require on a tray or similar, before threading the beads.
- When you have placed the beads on the stretch you tie a firm knot (You can be very firm in tying the knot!)
- If preferred you can add a tiny drop of nail polish or supa glue to the knot to provide a stronger bond.
- Tuck the knot in to the last bead so it doesn't show.
Now you know how to make a bracelet!
