Honu Bracelet Set

Project details:

I have always been enamoured by sea turtles. Sea turtles have been around for 100 million years! So of course I wanted to use the Recycled Glass Sea Turtle beads in a design. These beads are just the right size for a bracelet. You could make this design into a necklace too.

↓ Step-by-step

↓ Buy the supplies

Supplies you’ll need:

You will need: *1 Recycled Glass Sea Turtle Bead *Waxed Cord *Czech Glass 5x7mm Rondelles *Czech Glass 4x6mm Teardrops *2 Antique Silver Shell Beads *A Half Strand of Magnesite

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Wrap your waxed cord around your wrist twice and cut. I always want extra cord when working on a project just in case;) Do this for both bracelets.

Step 2

String the beads on in the order as shown. Then do an overhand knot at the end of your beads so they stay in place.

Step 3

To finish off the bracelets I did a sliding square knot using an extra piece of my waxed cord. I embellished the ends with extra beads. I did this on both bracelets.

Step 4

Note: For the bracelet without the turtle, I strung the beads onto one cord and then took another piece of cord knotted it with the cord the beads are on, then I was able to wrap the cord around the beads in a spiral pattern. I knotted it on the other end.
