DIY Braided Seed Bead Bracelet

Posted: May 4th, 2012 ˑ Filled under: DIY ˑ  4 Comments


After taking inspiration from Honestly WTF, I found a use for my large Miyuki seed beads!

The waxed linen is almost a must as it will make threading and keeping everything in place so much easier.

Tools:

Tutorial:

Start:

1. Cut two pieces of thread

2. fold them in half side by side

3. knot the folded end

4. Cut off one strand – there should now be three strands

 

Beading:

5. Tape down the top and braid a little way

6. Place a bead on the furthest left strand, place the strand over the middle strand

7. Place a bead on the furthest right strand, place the strand over the middle strand (which was originally the first strand)

8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until desired length, braid the end

 

End:

9. Thread two strands through one hole and the remaining strand through the second hole

10. Tie a knot on the other side of the button to secure the end

11. Trim the excess thread

10. DONE!

These are super easy and I find quite find quite fun to make. I absolutely love Miyuki beads too, the colours they come in are just beautiful.

If you like them too, make some! I would love to see your take on this project. Alternatively, if you are not the making type, you can get these from my Etsy store too.

    [...] As someone who’s temporarily unemployed and waiting for my next calling, I’ve been searching for new projects to take on. One of them was do-it-yourself jewelry. I’m not very knowledgeable about jewelry, nor do I have much interest in it, but I have noticed that they tend to be overpriced and since I love saving money, I decided to try making one of them. I decided upon one that looked neat and sounded easy enough for me to start and finish: Braided Bead Bracelets (tutorials here and here). [...]
