How do you make a reversible bracelet?

Want two bracelets in one that you can switch up depending on your mood and outfit? It’s possible! Magdalena Zapico has risen to the challenge! Follow her step-by-step tutorial to make your own reversible silver cuff bracelet with jewelry-making techniques. Feel free to check out our toolbox—it might help you, especially when learning the basics of jewelry making.

Thank you, Magdalena, for sharing this tutorial.

The bracelet featured in this tutorial measures 16.5 cm. Since it’s wide, you’ll need to allow for 1.5 cm more than your actual wrist size. If you’d like to make a bracelet larger than the one shown, use a longer length of C-Lon beading cord. The first option is to create a longer section of beading-free braiding at the beginning and end of the bracelet. The second option is to add 1 (or even 2) R8A beads at the beginning and end of each strand (see stringing order), which brings the total to 37 (or 39) beads per strand instead of 35.
