Holiday Beading Project

Holiday Beading Project
Hey beaders! Stumped for a gift? Want to impress loved ones? A home made gift says more than enough this holiday season.


Materials:

  • Stretchy elastic cord
  • Scissors
  • Small blue beads
  • Large decorative bead
  • Plate or lid
Instructions:










The same bracelet we're going to make but with a different decorative bead.

These are the small beads we're using.


Pour the small beads from the bag into the lid.

This is the type I use and recommend because when tied, they never break apart and they stretch easily.

Reel out some of the cord and make sure there's more than enough to make the bracelet.


Tie a small knot near the end and start stringing the beads from the top.  Note: a pattern is more visually appealing. 

Just keep stringing, just keep stringing.. :)



Now string that decorative bead on!


Tie the ends together and cut off the excess cord.

Finished product.
