Seed Bead Ladder Cuff Bracelets
by Elaina at Lima on 05/14/20
About this design:
I love working with seed beads and trying out new color combinations, so these cuff bracelets are perfect for doing just that! They're very simple to make- you just need wire & seed beads. I used thicker wire to make the cuff, and then you just slide on the seed bead links.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Wire (20 gauge & 24 gauge)
- Seed Beads
- Chain
- Jump Rings
- Lobster Clasp
- Round Nose Pliers

Fresh Baked says:Very creative clasp on the ladder bracelet. It could also be made adjustable by adding a short length of chain to one side. My favorite take away are those colorful wire coils added to the seed bead design. Cool!

psdejesu45 says:Has anyone made this bracelet using memory wire? It just seems it would keep its shape better. Looks like using 20 ga. wire it would fall off your wrist unless you used the chain & lobster claw. Comments or suggestions from someone who has made it please.
