A few beads + 1 metre of cord + some nifty knotty action
= adjustable boho bracelet
1. Cut cord into 2 lengths, one measuring 70cms, the other 30cms (increase the longer cord for larger wrists)
2. Double up the longer length of cord and thread your beads onto it. Make a knot either side to keep the beads in place.
3. Wrap the ends of the bracelet so that they cross each other. Hold the ends in place. (I used mini pegs for this and a bit of blu-tack to steady the bracelet)
4. With the shorter length of cord, make a series of adjustable square knots (see here) and trim off the ends.
5. Knot the other ends of your bracelet.
Ta daah.
Have fun!

I love these! My daughter and I have been messing about a bit with bead bracelets too and it's always nice to see other peoples take on things ~ Thanks for sharing! :O)x
ReplyDeleteOh I love this! *hops over to ebay for cord & beads* errr I think I'm stupid I don't get what a square knot is. Think I need to play for it to make sense! Thanks for an inspiring post! :)

Right lover, I've gone and gots me a freelance proofreading job. Working well into the early hours to get it done. Next week is a bit mad but shall we try to get a date in for the following week. I DEMAND that you show me in person how to make this funky bracelet. I LOVE them - and the Rose ring. I want to purchase a rose ring and matching necklace. And maybe another set so save me something pale pink, or bring a lil selection but I do love me pinks. To make the kitesurfers wink. I miss you, seems AGES since we caught up. I've been stressed out as had to meet the tightest deadlines and simply not enough hours in the day!
ReplyDeleteTell me what days you can make that week (is it early July?!)

ReplyDeleteOoh, I like! My son has requested a man-bracelet with a slogan and I think,if you don't mind, incorporating your design in to it will suit very well

hello Sarah
ReplyDeleteWhy do you show me these things I have a mental list of things seen and want to do as long as my arm!
These bracelets are so sweet and I already know who I'd make one for ...my grand-daughter she is a very fancy child and loves her bracelets and rings.
Thanks for the tutorial
