These little beaded bracelets are a must-have accessory that's easy to make. They're easy to put on, fit perfectly and make wonderful gifts. Thanks to their adjustable clasp system, there's no need to know the exact wrist size of the person you're giving them to. The sliding clasp bead, also known as a stopper bead, lets you adjust the size of the bracelet and open or close it with ease, without assistance. Customize your creation by choosing from dozens of colors of braided nylon thread (0.5 mm) and over 1000 Miyuki Delica 11/0 bead references.
This tutorial is another version of a tutorial I gave you some time ago: Bracelets faciles perles Miyuki fermoir réglable. You really liked this tutorial, as it ranks among our Top Jewelry Tutorials 2024. These bracelets were very summery with their Gold Filled turtle and dolphin charms. Today, I'm offering you a version in blue colors and with astral-themed charms. This time, the primers are in gold-plated stainless steel. This is an oxidation-resistant metal, but a little less expensive than Gold Filled.
However, the stopper beads are made of gold-plated brass. They are therefore a little less resistant to oxidation over time, but this is a much more affordable option than the previous gold filled stopper beads. The choice is yours. If you wish, you can varnish the beads with Isoclip varnish before use to prevent oxidation. These other options can be found in the product variations section of the equipment list. What's more, if you prefer, the stopper bead can be replaced by a macramé sliding knot.
These bracelets are a perfect idea for multiplying small gifts, especially during the festive season. The thread is sold per 10 m, so you can make over 30 bracelets with a single color of thread, using 30 to 35 cm of thread per adult bracelet. Remember to adjust the quantity of stopper beads if you wish to make 30 bracelets. These golden brass beads are sold in packs of 10, and the Gold Filled beads are sold in packs of 2, with a 10% discount if you buy a minimum of 5 pairs. The bead sachets are extremely creative. These colors are also used in bead weaving tutorials:
Discover our step-by-step tutorial to create these beaded bracelets with ease.
Ideally, the bead stringing should be the size of the wearer's wrist (-1 cm or -0.5 cm). If you don't know the wearer's wrist size, but the wearer seems to have an average wrist size, assume a wrist size of 16 cm.
Cut 30 to 35 cm of thread. Thread it through the slotted or reformable needle. Thread a stopper bead, then a crush tube.
Next, thread your beads and charms. Finish by threading a crush tube. Center the beads on the thread and crush the crush beads on either side of the Miyuki beads to hold them in place.
Pinch the threads at the stopper bead to free up space in the bead hole for the needle. Then thread a bead to be crushed onto each end of thread and flatten them. Burn the thread ends or recut them close to the beads to be crushed.
