If you haven't taken the plunge yet, join the trend for curved tube bead bracelets! They were available on the site in sizes 8 and 11 mm only. Very graphic, these beads are suitable for most wrists. But if, like me, you're a fan of small, slender bracelets, you're about to get your wish! From now on, we offer you these essential beads in 5 mm diameter. Lightweight and comfortable to wear, they'll keep you company all day long, whether at work or in front of your beading tray.
Here are three models of tube bracelets inspired by the color Mocha Mousse. According to Pantone, this is the color of the year 2025: soft shades of chocolate brown. In keeping with this spirit, these bracelets play on the subtle alternation of colors: a gentle blend of cream, mocha and caramel shades, framed by gold spacers adorned with sparkling rhinestones. Each bracelet is designed to harmonize easily with different outfits. They can be worn with cream, brown, denim and many other colors and materials. Worn alone for a minimalist touch, or in an accumulation for a more assertive effect, this jewel will suit all your desires.
Here are a few recommendations concerning elastic bracelets:
These bracelets are suitable for wrist sizes up to 15 cm. Read the steps and adapt the material list to the size of your wrist.
Here's how to make elastic bracelets with tube beads: start by cutting a 30 cm piece of elastic thread and stretching it slightly to loosen it. Then string the beads in the order of your choice. Once all the beads are in place, make a first surgeon's knot by wrapping the wire twice around the other end, then tighten firmly.
Repeat the operation, wrapping the wire twice around the other end, then tighten firmly. Apply a dab of glue to the knot, then slide a bead over it to camouflage it and secure it inside. Let the glue dry, then trim off the excess wire, leaving a margin of about 2 mm.
These bracelets are suitable for wrist sizes up to 15 cm. Adapt the material list to the size of your wrist.
Bracelet on right: Alternate 1 spotted tube, 1 rope-effect washer, 1 ivory tube. Repeat 4 times. Finish with 1 rondelle and an ivory bead. To enlarge the bracelet by approx. 1.5 cm, add 1 rondelle and 1 spotted tube bead. There's plenty of material for this in the materials list.
Light and dark brown bracelet: Alternate 1 rhinestone washer, 1 dark brown tube, 1 rhinestone washer, 1 light brown tube. Repeat 4 times. To enlarge the bracelet by approx. 1.5 cm, add 1 rondelle and 1 dark-brown tube bead.

Then add 1 rhinestone rondelle, 1 light-brown tube bead, 1 rhinestone rondelle, 1 dark-brown tube bead, 1 rhinestone rondelle, 1 light-brown tube bead. To enlarge the bracelet by approx. 1.5 cm, add 1 rondelle and 1 ivory tube bead.
