Soutache bracelet step by step - DIY tutorial for beginners
Designed by: Jasamira
Difficulty: Beginner
Together with Jasamira, we invite you to a DIY tutorial, in which we will show you how this soutache bracelet is made, step by step. The bracelet is not difficult to make, so this tutorial is ideal for beginners who want to start their adventure with soutache. Let's get started!
Materials Needed;
Soutache Cord – I used PEGA string – we will need 4 sections of 50cm
TOHO beads – size 11/0
Natural stones – I used Agate round 8mm beads for the orange bracelet. For the purple bracelet, I used a 6x8mm rectangle-shaped hematite bead.
Jewellery clasp – a magnetic fastener with a hole of 8.5 x 2.5mm will be suitable for the orange bracelet, and for the purple one, which is slightly wider, a fastening with a hole of 10x3mm
Jewellery thread – One-G in a shade similar to the color scheme of the design
Jewellery needle – John James – threading needle 10/13 beads
Jewellery Glue – I used strong poxipol
