Elastic beaded bracelets...



I received a simple beaded bracelet as a gift from a friend. I love wearing it-not only because it is beautiful but because it reminds me of my friend.  A thoughtful gift is easy to make and something like a bracelet can be worn and used everyday.  The beading is pretty easy if you have the right tools.


  1. Cut Elastic to 30 inches.
  2. Tape one end of the elastic to the table (so your beads don't go all over the place)
  3. Bead 20 inches using wide-eyed flexible needles
  4. Knot tying must be correct or your beautiful work may fall apart!!
  5. Take your time. Be thoughtful with bead selection.
