Wildflower Wrap Bracelet
About this design:
I love using knotting techniques in my designs- I find the repetitiveness soothing. For this design, I used a simple square knot to make a 3-layered wrap bracelet. I was also excited to use this new purple & Turquoise impression jasper so I could design with one of my favorite color palettes- blue, purple,& gold!
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
Round 4mm gemstones, seed beads, thread, toggle clasp, super glue, collapsible beading needle, charms & tassels.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Follow the attached link for instructions on how to use the square knot. As shown in the picture, I like to use the beading needle to slide a group of beads on at once, and then I slide a bead up one at a time and make a square knot around the bead. My bracelet ended up being approx. 18" long- I wanted it long enough to wrap around my wrist 3 times. Lastly, I used jump rings to attach charms throughout the bracelet.

Moogie says:I love the color combo, the petite sizing & that it’s macrame/square knot. I’ll definitely try a version of this design.

Melody F says:I too love the colors and also the little charms. I was thinking that something similar could be done as three separate bracelets, maybe stretch bracelets.
