How to Make a Beaded Bracelet

Take a long piece of elastic thread (taking a long piece is better because adding extra thread later is difficult).

Insert a square or round bead (I’m using square) then one oval bead followed by another square or round bead.

Take the open ends of the thread and insert another oval bead through both ends, from both sides.

Pull the open ends of the thread and bring the 4th bead closer to the first 3 beads.

The thread has 2 ends, so we are going to insert 1 square bead through each open ends.

Now insert an oval bead through both sides and pull the open ends of the thread to bring the oval bead closer to the previous beads.

Continue to do the same until reaching the required length for your bracelet.

Once the beading will reach the required length you can stop beading.

The beaded thread has one closed end and the other side has 2 open ends.

Bring the closed and the open sides together.

Bracelet Jewellery

The first bead of the closed end should be an oval bead; insert the open ends of the thread from the other side through the oval bead from both sides.

Notice the red and yellow curved lines to be clear about how to insert the open ends of the thread through the oval bead.

Now you can insert a small length of the remaining thread ends randomly through the adjacent beads.

I pulled one end of the thread through the next 3 beads in a loop which brought the thread near the other end of the thread. Notice the yellow and red curved lines t have a clear idea.

Bracelet Jewellery

Now that both ends of the thread are next to each other you can simply tie 2 tight knots and cut off extra thread.

Bracelet Jewellery

You can pick different sized, shaped and coloured beads for variation.

  1. Oh, this is great. Now, I know how to fix my broken bracelet with glass beads. Honestly, I have no idea what thread to buy until I saw this post. Besides, I’m doubtful to let someone else fix it because you have to leave it for a number of days. So, I kept it in a box. You really give me an idea. Thank you so much.
