Basic steps to make your own bracelets:
1. Bracelet with elastic
Cut elastic to length and string your beads.
Make 2-3 knots and make the knot extra secure with a bit of jewelry glue.
Cut off excess elastic or hide the knot under a bead.
2. Bracelet with wire
Cut wire to size.
String a crimp bead + clasp, make a small loop and squeeze the crimp bead closed.
String your beads and finish with a crimp bead + clasp/jump ring.
3. Bracelet with cord
Use waxed cord, nylon cord, or satin cord.
You can add beads or use knotting techniques such as a sliding knot.
