Photo Tutorial
Step by Step
Step 2: Hold both ends of the thread together and make a knot, as shown on the photo.
Step 3: After making the knot, you will have the thread together like if there was 2 threads. You need to leave a small space and then add a charm. {When leaving the space, you can check it on your wrist... the jump ring will be under the wrist, and the charm will be over the wrist-- in the middle of the wrist, like any other bracelet.}
Step 4: Now you have to make another knot, like in step 2, but this time it will be on the charm.
Step 5: After adding the charm, you need to find the other half of the thread and make a knot. Leave a small piece of thread after the knot, and cut the rest of the thread.
Step 6: Add a cord end cap at the end, as shown in the photo.
Step 7: Add a clasp, and you are done!
The Results
You can make this simple bracelet in any color, with any charm :)
I love these braclets. Can I be fan #2. You pictures are looking wonderful. Great tutorial!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Brenna! Sure, you can be fan #2! :) But first, you'll need to discuss it with my mom lol.

DeleteMariely,
ReplyDeleteI love the bracelets! I was wondering if the braided cord would work in place of the thread. Where did you purchase the tread because I think the braided cord that I have is too thin.

Thanks Angie! If the braided cord is thin, I think it would work. The thread I use is very very thin. I bought it at a local beading store here in Puerto Rico but the brand is beadsmith.com... maybe you could find it at Walmart. Let me know if you need help with anything else :)
DeleteThank you for your help! I made a bracelet using the braided cord and it worked :)
DeleteYou are most welcome! I'm so glad it worked!
Deletethese bracelets really are cute! I can see why they are her favorite. hope she had a great b-day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah! She had so much fun :)
DeleteGreat tutorial. I have some charms left over from making some bookmarks - maybe I will try this. I will have to find some of that thread - or maybe I can use some pearl crown rayon I have in my sewing stash that I use with my serger. Love the colors you show in the photos - my favorite color is blue - any shade.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kimberlee! If you try them, let me know if the pearl crown rayon worked for you :)
DeleteI'd love to try this! I have a charm from the Disney Princess Half Marathon that I've been trying to figure out what to do with! I wish I had all the materials just lying around - Oh well, I guess I'll have to go to the craft store!
ReplyDeleteaw Rose! I can totally picture us doing crafts together :) Be sure to send me a photo of your bracelet ;)
