You can select glass beads for making a truly affordable bracelet, that you will not worry about losing.  Of course you would be sad if you lost your beautiful hand made bracelet, but at least you would not be as worried as if you had lost a real pearl bracelet.  To make the bracelet you need to think about what type of material you would like to string it on, but recommend stretchy cord because it is easy to work with and affordable.  Determine what color of glass beads you would like to use for your bracelet, or use a variety of colors to create a truly magical and eclectic piece.
Step One: Gathering Your Supplies

 

 

Step Two: Decide What Type of String You Are Going to Use

 

Step Three: Make a Pattern With the Beads

 

I like to make a pattern using smaller and larger beads, but if you prefer to mix all the beads up that is fun too. Sometimes I have leftover beads from different projects and I make a multi-colored bracelet. Here I am using blue colored beads that were on sale for a dollar fifty, which are similar to ones I saw on a bracelet for twenty dollars at the mall.
Step Four: Continue The Stringing Beads Until The Desire Length is Reached

 

 

The Finished Product

 

Tying off the stretchy string is easy and simple. There are many different shapes, colors, and styles of beads you can use. I have made green, blue, and even red bracelets. The possibilities are endless with beading.
