Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Gather your materials.
Step 2
Paint enough beads to spell the name you’d like on the bracelet. Let dry.
Step 3
While the beads are drying, cut a 12 inch long piece of string. (Better too long than too short– you can trim later!)
Step 4
Once the beads are dry, use a permanent marker to spell out the name.
Step 5
String your letter beads onto the cord. Keep adding beads to either side until the bracelet fits around your wrist.
Step 6
Securely tie the two ends of cord together. You don’t want too much slack in the bracelet after it’s tied, but don’t pull too hard since it’s elastic cording.
Tip
Trim the tails down to an inch or two in length, then tuck the ends in the beads to hide them.
Final result!
