Beading Crafts Difficulty Rating:
Beginner
Materials Needed:
Thick elastic cording
Gemstone beads, 8mm
Three-holed bead
Scissors
Beading Crafts Instructions:
Cut the elastic cord to the size of your wrist plus 4 inches. String the beads onto the cord. You may want to secure one end of the cord with a heavy book or other object to prevent the beads from sliding off while stringing.
Push each end of the cord through one hole of the three-holed bead. Pull both ends up through the third hole. Tie an overhand knot on top of the three-hold bead to finish the bracelet.
Tips:
If you can’t find a three-holed bead for beading crafts, you can use a larger bead with only one larger hole. In this instance, simply thread both ends of the cord through the large hole and tie above using an overhand knot to finish.
