DIY Braided Seed Bead Bracelet

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.
