Instructions:

Before you begin, measure your wrist to determine how long you want your bracelet to be. I made mine about 1 1/2" larger than my wrist.

Begin by cutting six 1' lengths of Opelon floss stretch cord.

Gather the lengths together and place a bead stopper 2-3 inches from one end of the cords.

String your beads onto the cords in the following pattern:
- Row 1: Place a lilac pearl twin bead onto the first two cords. Then place a twin bead on the middle two cords, and another onto the last two cords.
- Row 2: String a silver supra metallic 8/0 Czech seed bead onto the first cord. Then place a twin bead onto the next two cords, and another onto the two cords after those. String another silver seed bead onto the last cord.
- Row 3: Repeat row 1.
- Row 4: String a silver lined black diamond 8/0 Czech seed bead onto the first cord. Then place a twin bead onto the next two cords, and another onto the two cords after those. String another black diamond seed bead onto the last cord.

Repeat the pattern until your bracelet is the desired length.

Watch the video: How to Make a Stretch Bracelet. This video will show you how to connect the ends of your bracelet and finish off the cords.

The knots will not slide into the beads on this bracelet. Be sure to tie your knots neatly, glue them securely, and trim them nice and close to keep them looking tidy.

Variations

Choose a different twin bead with seed beads to match to get a whole different look from this bracelet!

When substituting in items, pay attention to sizes and styles to make sure all your pieces will fit together.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
