Mother’s Day project suggestion… A quick and easy elegant bracelet!
Proper Supplies:
1. Stretch beading cord (any brand). *Remember the thickness of the cord you need depends on the size of the hole in the bead.
2. Beads! Beads! Try fresh water pearls, Swarvorski crystals in pastels: yellow, pinks, blues, peaches, etc. You can also try sizes and shapes of coordinating colored pearls.
3. Scissors
Step 1: Cut the stretch cord to a length to fit the desired wrist adding a few inches so it will be easy to manage.
Step 2: Strand the beads onto the cord, try alternating from pearl to crystal. For instance, white pearl, pink swarvoski, peach pearl, yellow swarvoski, and so on.
Step 3: When you reach the length to on the wrists snuggly ( not uncomfortable, but not loose enough to fall off). Tie the stretch cord together in a square knot two or three times for strength. Give to your very special mother.
