Amazing DIY Bracelets Made With Beads

Check out these 15 gorgeously crafted bracelet ideas that let you get crafty with beading so you can add some flair to your outfit later.

1. Pearl beads and tassels

Using real pearls to make yourself some gorgeous jewelry would obviously be ideal, but it would also be a great deal more expensive! Pearl beads can be just as cute for a pretty summer look. String some along a length of elastic string and finish the look off by attaching a little DIY tassel, just like Wild Amor did.

2. Beaded leather bracelet

This leather string might be on the thicker side, but looping it through some little circular beads gives off the impression that it’s actually quite delicate. Find out how to string things along on FabYouBliss.

3. Dangling spikes bracelet

There are beads, there are dangling beads, and then there are awesome hanging spikes like these! Use DIY jewelry rings to attach a few long, edgy spikes around the links of a stylish chain bracelet to add an event more visual element. The Stripe shows you how it’s done.

4. Beaded metallic cuff

This cuff is thick without being obnoxious, edgy without being too out there, and totally easy to make as long as you’re willing to practice a little bit of patience. We love the idea of alternating tiny metallic silver and gold beads to give the bracelet a vintage, slightly tarnished look like this one from PS I Made This.

5. Turquoise beaded ring bracelet

We love the way delicate little bead contrast with an equally delicate chain in this design! Highlighting the chain that stretches between the bracelet and the ring sections makes it a unique and eye catching piece. Find out how it’s made on Into Mind.

6. Chandelier charm bracelet

This project combines building your own beads from flower shaped charms and pearl beads, and then also building a dangling charm bracelet! We adore the vintage aesthetic this chandelier design creates. Honestly WTF walks you through every step of making it.

7. Simple beaded friendship bracelets

Did you ever spend time as a kid braiding simple embroidery floss into friendship bracelets for you and your friends? These little bracelets by Honestly WTF are made by braiding too, but each time you loop a side string over the middle string, you’ll slide a bead on first!

8. Coronet bracelet knockoff

We love a good recreation craft! What’s better than saving money on a brand name thing when you can make your own version nearly as easily? This bracelet, modeled after one by Anthro Coronet, has three strands attached at the clasp and each one varies in style to look like you’re wearing three separate pieces. The middle on involves pearl beads and eye-catching floral beads too! Check it out on Flamingo Toes.

9. Two part harmony bracelet

Do you like that the previous design has separate parts but wish it was a little more subdued in style? Try this one, also by Flamingo Toes, insead! The strands are creating from little beads in contrasting light and dark shades.

10. Beaded and braided bracelet

The Cheese Thief shows you how to make this gorgeously delicate but still slightly ornate bracelet design using a string of very fine chain mixed among lengths of pretty little seed beads.

11. Leather wrapped beaded bracelet

This image from Pinterest shows you exactly how to wrap a bead into the middle of a leather string bracelet around both sides. This keeps the bead solidly in place but still lets the edgy leather texture shine through.

12. Wrap bracelet with statement bead

Cut Out and Keep shows you how to make another variation on the other beaded wrap bracelets you see here, but they’ve included a bonus feature! This design features a large bead in the middle that really makes a stylish, bold statement!

13. DIY beaded wrap bracelet

Whether you choose to make a similarly Navaho style pattern as this tutorial from Pumps & Iron, or simply to alternate beaded colours so the bracelet appears to have stripes, this project is a total blast to make. You’ll be working with tiny seed beads, so get out the embroidery floss and needles!

14. DIY watermelon bracelet

Are you a kitschy person who would rather include a small gimmick with their look rather than something feminine? Then Handmade Charlotte has the pattern for you! These cylindrical plastic beads are available at pretty much any crafting store. They’re great for stacking together and easy to get your hands on! Check out how this bracelet late!

DIY gifts for him – How to make braided hex nut bracelets

TheMan — Sat, 20 Dec 2014 00:02:19 +0000

You are trying to find the perfect gift for him? But you also need a crafty therapy? Then you must try this easy and inexpensive project. Hex nuts are easy to find in every hardware store and can be much more versatile than you think. Learn how to braid hex nuts into jewelry and make your own braided hex nut bracelets for you or as a gift for your man.

DIY handmade jewelry – How to make braided hex nut bracelets

From hex nuts and twine can be made unique jewelry pieces, suitable for everyone, both men and women. Try it! You just need a thicker string and some extra washers, nuts and other metal particles that lie on the bottom of the tool box. You’ll need 16 hex nuts and about 18 inches of cotton twine, suede cord or any other cord that you like.

Cut 3 strands of twine, gather them, tie a knot at the top and start braiding. (Tape the end to the table or attach with a safety pin onto a cushion. This would make it much easier to work.) After about 2 inches, start braiding in the hex nuts. Slide one onto the outer strand and continue the braid steps. Repeat until you’ve braided all your hex nuts and your bracelet has already an interesting herring-bone structure. Then continue braiding the twine and create a looped knot at the end. It should act as your clasp.

A little different braided hex nut bracelets

Although the jewelry is made of iron, it can look very delicate and elegant. If you mastered the macrame technique (square knot technique), you can create another version of the hex nut bracelet. It is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance.

We have four cords: two in the middle (shorter), and two outside black (for example, 1.5 m long). We are going to knot only the black strings, which are knotted as shown in the first image. Occasionally slide in a hex nut on the middle string and continue knotting. The final look of the bracelet is really interesting and suitable for a male hand. If you want to keep the bracelets for yourself then you can also choose between gold and silver nuts. Combine several colors and stack more bracelets on your hand.

If you want to continue crafting, then make a gift for yourselves – a necklace. Choose one large and several small external teeth lock washers and tie them together with a wire, forming a flower-shaped pendant.
