To prevent the bracelet from breaking, it's important to pre-stretch the wire before starting to string the beads.
Your bracelet shouldn't be too tight on your wrist, nor too loose, as these are the reasons it can break. A little tip: when you put on an elastic thread bracelet, don't stretch it, just roll it up to your wrist.
To complete the bracelet, you'll need to make a surgeon's knot. Twist the right-hand thread twice over the left-hand thread to intertwine them. Twist the right-hand thread onto the left-hand thread again to form a second loop above the first row. Tighten. You can hide the knot in the bead hole. To make your knot more solid, add a dot of jewelry glue.
