PROJECT 06: BOHO BRACELETS

REDESIGNED MULTI-STRAND BRACELET PT.2

The second design in this series is a 2 strand Beaded Boho Bracelet. For this I used the yellow gold seed beads and hex cut beads, brown round beads and brown bugle beads from the multi-strand bracelet.

I gave a tip on my previous post to make sure to have a bit of a gap for the beads to move around. But as you may notice, the golden yellow beads look crumpled near the lock, that’s because the knots didn’t go through the bead holes as planned as the holes got too small, therefore the knots took up the extra space. In such cases, if it’s too obvious, restringing is advised, especially if you intend to sell them.

MATERIALS & TOOLS

Deconstructed Multi-Strand Bracelet

.02 Nylon Thread        Jump Ring or Cable Chain        Split Rings        Metal bead in Different Sizes

Lobster Lock        Curb Chain        Charm        Pliers

STEP 1

Take 1 yard or about 35-36” of nylon thread, insert through a split ring. Meet thread ends so ring will fall in the middle, tie a knot to secure the ring.

Start stringing with 1 small metal bead, medium metal bead, small metal bead and then one seed bead. This will be your pattern.

STEP 2

Continue with this pattern until you come a few lines short of 6”. We’re including the split rings in the measurement so we need to make a spot for the end split ring.

STEP 3

String in one split ring and bring back the thread to the beaded strand and go through that a couple of time then knot to secure.

STEP 4

Using the same split ring from the previous strand, take another yard of nylon thread and repeat step 1, but with the pattern of alternating 1 seed bead and 1 glass bead until you have 3”.

STEP 5

String in the charm and continue stringing in the beads until you come short of 6”.

STEP 6

Take the same split ring from the previous strand and repeat step 3.

STEP 7

Take a few rings of the curb chain and connect to one end of the strand. With a jump ring, or in this case, since I don’t have a thick enough jump ring in brass, I used a ring from a cable chain, connect your strand to the lobster lock with the ring.

And there you have your Beaded Boho Bracelet. ❤
