DIY Elastic bracelet with pink beads

Wristband 1

Start by measuring your wrist size.

Then cut an elastic thread a little longer, so that you'll be comfortable when you tie the knot and can adjust the length if necessary.
Personally, I cut 25 cm: this leaves plenty of room for stringing the beads and adjusting the length.

Here's the material you'll need

- 10 golden Rondelle beads
- 4 light pink cube beads
- 3 Neon pink cube beads
- 3 candy-pink nugget beads

You can string the beads in any order you like, and that's what makes this bracelet so much fun: you can mix and match shapes and colors to your heart's content.

To begin with, here's the sequence I followed (to be done only once): gold rondelle, light pink cube bead, gold rondelle, neon pink cube bead, gold rondelle, light pink cube bead, gold rondelle.

After doing it once, I continue to create a "pearl mix" effect: neon pink nugget pearl + gold washer, then repeat the following sequence: neon pink cube pearl + gold washer, light pink cube pearl + gold washer, neon pink nugget pearl + gold washer. I repeat this sequence a second time, finishing with a gold puck.

When the length suits you, tie a surgeon's knot: wrap the wire twice around the other end, then tighten firmly. Double-wrap the wire around the other end again and tighten.

Trim excess wire to within 2 mm of the knot. Apply a drop of glue if desired, then slide the knot into a bead to conceal it inside.

Bracelet 2:

Here is the material you will need:

- 9 flower Rondelle beads
- 4 marbled pink beads
- 3 small light pink beads
- 2 light pink flat round beads

Rule: I always put 1 flower roundel between each bead.

Next beads (to be threaded in this order): marbled pink, light pink (flat round), marbled pink, small light pink, marbled pink, flat round, marbled pink, small light pink, small light pink.

To finish, just like the other bracelet: tie a surgeon's knot, and your bracelet is ready.
