Wrap Bracelet

Here it is how to create a wrap bracelet.

Material and advice :
You need a needle.
Thread, you can use all kind of threads like leather thread, cotton waxed... For this example we used european cotton waxed cord 1.3 mm Beige.
One button, we used a mother-of-pearl button 15 mm Violet.
Some beads, you can use round beads, faceted beads, cubes... For this example we used 3 bags of Polaris rounds 6 mm Light Peach x10.
C-lon thread, we used the fil C-Lon D Rose.


Step 1:
Cut a piece of thread long about 57 cm (the length can change according to your wrist size).





Step 2:
Get the thread through the button and center it.



Step 3:
Make a knot on the edge of the button.



Step 4:
Cut about one meter of C-lon thread.
Get the thread through the needle, double it and make a knot at the ends of the thread.



Step 5:
Pass the C-lon thread though the wax cotton cord, using the needle, and block it with a knot.



Step 6:
String a Polaris round bead on the C-lon thread.



Step 7:
Press the Polaris bead against the wax cotton thread.



Step 8:
Passez le fil C-lon sous le coton ciré.



Step 9:
Pass the needle back into the bead, passing the C-Lon thread above the wax cotton cord.



Step 10:
String another Polaris bead on the needle.
Pass it under the wax cotton cord.



Step 11:
Go on stringing 25 more Polaris round beads.



Step 12:
Pass the needle back twice in the last bead (27th bead).



Step 13:
Make a knot around the wax cotton cord.



Step 14:
Cut the excess of C-lon thread.



Step 15:
To keep your bracelet in good shape in the future, we advise you:
- to burn the exceeding thread after the knot, using the Thread Zap or a lighter.
- or to pour a drop of glue on this exceeding thread after the knot.



Step 16:
Make a knot with the wax cotton cord, very close to the last Polaris Bead.



Step 17:
Leave some 2cm of wax cotton to be able to string the button and make a second knot.



Step 18:
For a better finish, cut the end of the wax cotton cord and burn it.




Enjoy the result!!!





Trick: to feel more comfortable while stringing the beads, hang the 'button' end of the bracelet on a pin, to hold the bracelet.
