How to make a maxi elastic bracelet ?

Summer is the perfect season to experiment with accessories and bring a touch of color to our outfits. Brightly colored bracelets are a strong trend to complement your look this summer. Colorful elastic bracelets are the perfect answer to this desire. Easy to make yourself, they have become an essential trend to brighten up our wrists.

We suggest you to make two models of elastic bracelets: A maxi bracelet with crystals and flashy colored settings and a thinner bracelet with polymer beads with citrus patterns.

The plastic crimps are very easy to use and do not require jewelry clips. Just clip the crystals into the beads. Don't worry, the crystals won't pop out of their crimps by themselves. As for the orange, grapefruit or lemon polymer clay beads, they come from a fruit bead string. The material listed at the bottom of the page allows you to make at least two more fruit bead bracelets. Remember to add bags of gold washers if you want to make those 2 extra elastic bracelets.

Here are some other ideas to match your acid bracelets

  1. Mix & Match: feel free to mix and match several bracelets of different colors and textures for a trendy accumulated effect. The L'Oasis DIY jewelry collection may inspire you to create other designs to pair with your elastic bracelets.

  2. Harmony: for a more elegant look, choose bracelets in vibrant hues that pair well with neutral-toned outfits like white, beige and black.

  3. Contrast: Opt for bracelets in opposite colors to your outfit for a striking visual effect.

Brightly colored bracelets are a must-have to brighten up your summer outfit. By opting for durable materials and playing with combinations, you can create a fresh, original and trendy look. So don't wait any longer to dare bright colors and bring a touch of fantasy to your summer!

The material list allows you to make a bracelet for a wrist size of 15 cm. Adjust the number of crimps according to the size of your wrist. A seam is 1.3 cm wide and if you alternate colors, you need an even number of seams.

Tutorial steps

Step 1
Elastic bracelets with citrus crystals and beads : Step 1

For a wrist circumference of 15 cm, cut two pieces of elastic thread of 25 cm. Stretch them out and knot the two ends together without forcing. The purpose is to prevent the beads from slipping out of the wire. If your wrist is 17 cm, cut 27 cm of wire and so on.

Clip the crystals into the crimps. Thread each wire through the first crimp. Each crimp is separated at the top and bottom by a 3mm gold bead, 3 white heishi beads and another 3mm bead. If your wrist is wider, adjust the number of heishi beads between each crimp or add one or two crimps. Each bead is 1.3 cm long. If you alternate colors, then you will need an even number of beads.

Step 2
Elastic bracelets with citrus crystals and beads : Step 2

Once your beads are strung, remove the knot from the beginning. Be careful not to lose your beads. String a gold bead on the top and bottom before the first orange crimp. Tie the top two strands of wire together with a double surgeon's knot for elastic bracelets. Tighten the knot by pulling on the wire ends and pulling inside the bracelet. Then do the same thing at the bottom. Be careful not to twist the bracelet. Cut the wire 2 mm from the knot, put glue and slide the heishi beads over the knot to hide it.

Step 3

Repeat the same method with the other bracelet. The bracelet is made of 10 white heishi beads, 1 gold flower ring, 1 citrus bead, 1 gold ring. Alternate the colors to get a nice multicolor look.

Bonjour, nous indiquons qu'il faut deux morceaux de fil elastique d'environ 25 cm. En general, 3-4 cm c'est suffisant pour realiser un noeud. Pour etre plus à l aise, n'hesitez pas à couper 30 cm de fil elastique. Bonne journee.

J ai fais le bracelet il correspond à la photo mais il est n est pas agréable à porter.! En effet il y a des picots aux dos des sertis. Il est très désagréable cat le bracelet grate la peau ! Il faut le porter avec des manches longues...Pas vraiment pratique pour un bracelet d été !!!
