• Scissors
• Beads
• Tape or Binding Clip
• Elastic Cord
• Super Glue

Steps for Creating Stretchy Beaded Bracelet

Here are the things you must do when making this handmade accessory:

4. Test the fit of your bracelet when the beads reach your desired length. Wrap it around your wrist or use a bracelet sizer to find out if the accessory fits perfectly.

5. Take both ends of the elastic cord and tie them tightly using an overhand knot. Tie a second overhand knot and pull it again. You can also make the surgeon’s knot, as it holds better than an overhand nub. With this binding technique, you only need to tie a knot once.

6. Trim off the ends of the knot and apply a small amount of super glue. Insert the nub through the nearest bead hole or stick it to the closest stone if it does not fit into the hole.
