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 turquoise SuperDuo bead onto the first two cords. Then place a turquoise SuperDuo bead on the middle two cords, and another onto the last two cords.
- Row 2: String a black diamond Czech seed bead onto the first cord. Then place a SuperDuo bead onto the next two cords, and another onto the two cords after those. String another black diamond seed bead onto the last cord.
- Row 3: Repeat row 1.
- Row 4: String black Czech seed bead onto the first cord. Then place a turquoise SuperDuo bead onto the next two cords, and another onto the two cords after those. String another black 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.
- Your bracelet is now ready.
