These instructions make a 7.5" bracelet. The quantities given include enough corduroy rubber cord to allow for an up to 8" bracelet. If you would like to make a larger bracelet, adjust the quantity accordingly. You will also need a ruler for this project.
- First, we will make the beadwoven slider. To begin, watch the video How to do Flat Odd Count Peyote Stitch.
- Thread your beading needle with about six feet of thread and create a piece of odd count peyote that is 17 beads wide and 38 rows long, following the pattern shown in the illustration.
- With the thread still attached, zip up your peyote ends to create a tube. You can see an example of how to do this at the end of this video. Tie off and weave in your threads.
- To assemble the bracelet, start by watching the video: How to Measure and Assemble a Regaliz Corduroy Rubber Bracelet.
- In this video, you will learn how to measure and cut the corduroy rubber, add the beads, attach the clasp, and finish the bracelet.
- Based upon what you learned in the video, cut your corduroy rubber so that you have a length that is 8" long.
- Slide onto your corduroy rubber: 1 white o-ring, 1 silver plated slider, your bead woven tube, another silver plated slider, and another white o-ring.
- Place some glue into the recess on one side of your clasp and slip one end of the corduroy rubber into the recess. Allow to dry.
- Repeat the previous step on the other side of your bracelet.
- Allow all glue to dry thoroughly before wearing.
