How to make beaded bracelets?

1) Gather your supplies. Stretchy bracelets are the easiest to make, and require the fewest tools. You can make a simple, child-friendly one using elastic cord and plastic pony beads. 2) Measure your wrist and cut the elastic a little bit longer. Take the beading elastic and wrap it one and a half times around your wrist. 3) Stretch the elastic. Hold the elastic between your fingers and stretch it gently. This will prevent the elastic from stretching out later on and creating gaps. 4) Fold some tape over one of the ends of the elastic. This will prevent the beads from sliding off while you work. 5) Put the beads onto the elastic. You do not need a needle for this; most elastic is stiff enough that you can put the bead directly onto the string. 6) Keep adding beads until you have the length you want. Be sure to wrap the bracelet round your wrist from time to time. 7) Take the tape or clip off, and tie a square/surgeon knot. 8) Try to slide the knot under one of the adjacent beads. This will determine how you finish off the bracelet. 9) Wait for the glue to dry before wearing your bracelet. If you try to put the bracelet on too soon, the knot may loosen and the glue may crack.
