How to make a beaded cuff bracelet - jewellery making tutorial
Designed by: Joanne
Difficulty: Beginner
Joanne has been playing with the Frozen™ range and she has made this beautiful beaded cuff.
I have been looking at these Connector Bars for some time and pondering what I could do with them. When the new Frozen™ range arrived I knew I had found my latest favourite range.
The rich red of these raspberry beads really pops against the bars and faceted rondelles. I hope you enjoy this little tutorial aimed at beady beginners. Happy Stringing! Jo xx
Supplies used in this project:
Frozen ™ round 10mm raspberry beads
Frozen ™ rondelle 4x6mm grey beads
TOHO™ size 8/0 round seed beads in gold lustered raspberry
Connector Bars 2x25mm silver bars
Findings kit in silver plated
Step 1
Cut 2x 30cm lengths of wire, attach one length of wire to a jump ring using crimp beads. Flatten the crimp bead onto the wire using your flat nose pliers.
Step 2
Thread 10 size 8/0 seed beads, thread through one of the holes in the connector bar.
Step 3
Continue in the sequence below until you have reached your desired length. I made an 8" bracelet using 10 Frozen round beads and 11 Frozen rondelle beads.
1x rondelle
1x connector bar
1x 10mm round
1x connector bar
Step 4
Once you have reached the end of your bracelet add on 10 seed beads and attach your wire to a jump ring using a crimp bead.
Step 5
Repeat the above steps to create the other side of your bracelet.
Step 6
To finish, join both ends of your bracelet with a jump ring and loop on a lobster clasp. Twist close to secure the clasp in place.
Step 7
Attach another jump ring onto the other end by looping it thorugh the two end jump rings and twist close to secure in place.
