Braided Charm Wrap Bracelet
About this design:
I've always loved making friendship bracelets, so this design is inspired by that-only simpler to make! Instead of knotting the cord, I decided to braid it and added these tiny heart & star focal beads.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Gold & Silver Heart Focal Beads
- Gold & Silver Star Focal Beads
- Bead Cord
- Lobster Clasp
- Jump Rings
- Super Glue

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Begin with three colors of .5mm bead cord, each about 50" long. Tie a double knot around a jump ring & secure with a drop of super glue. Tape the end down on a table and begin braiding the cord. About every inch, slide a focal bead onto a piece of the cord & continue braiding until you've reached your desired length. |
|
Step 2: I made mine to be 32" long so it wraps around my wrist 5 times. Once you've reached the end, tie a double knot through the loop of a lobster clasp & secure with a drop of glue. |

dolllady aka Pam says:Creative! It leaves plenty of personal creativity with choice of color and cord to use and choice of charms. My mind is spinning at warp speed.

Maggy Shannon says:What a lovely bracelet! And how clever of you to choose such lovely colors! I would not have thought to use the brown as by itself it is unlovely, but with the other colors it makes something very special.
