Enhance your party outfit with this wrap bracelet tutorial by our partner and specialist designer, Miss Wrap . This 5-turn wrap bracelet suggests two techniques:
- the wrap bracelet, in which pearls are woven between 2 leather cords, a bit like weaving on a loom.
- circular macramé , in which macramé flat knots are woven around the leather cords.
These wrap bracelets are very simple to make. The idea is to create a long length of weave, which is then wrapped several times around the wrist. This creates sequences with a variety of beads that can be easily matched to each other, creating a perfect accumulation in a single piece of jewelry.
As you can see, the bracelet wrap technique is relatively simple and therefore accessible to beginners in jewelry design. Once you've mastered the technique, simply repeat the same process throughout the bracelet. It's also a technique that can be used endlessly to create both women's jewelry and men's bracelets with leather cords.So it's up to you to adapt this technique to your desires: 2, 3, 5 turns, anything's possible (and it's also the perfect opportunity to use up your bag ends by creating short sequences with your leftover pearls).
The version offered by Miss Wrap is ideal for festive occasions: the gold and black colors of this bracelet will go perfectly with any of your outfits and will look sensational on your wrist! And to discover all the colors available, you can find our entire Swarovski 5000 6 mm range or our PureCrystal 5000 6 mm range and our various 1 mm leather cords on our site!

Fold the cord in half, then insert it into the two holes in the button.
Make a double knot.
Take about 1.5m of nylon thread, fold it in 2 to double the strength of the thread. Pass it on the top cord by falling down.
Insert a bead in the 2 threads.
Wedge the bead between the 2 cords, take the remaining wire and pass it under the bottom cord
Pass the thread over the bottom bead and then tuck the thread into the bead. Pass the thread under the top bead and then repeat the same threading technique for all the other beads, avoiding tightening the thread too much and making sure to keep a nice evenness.
If the bead twists during beading, adjust it as you go along and straighten it out
If your wrist measures 15cm you have to : put on 11 purecrystal 3x4 spacers then 11 purecrystal
If your wrist measures 16cm you need to : put on 12 purecrystal 3x4 spacers then 12 purecrystal
If your wrist measures 17cm you need to : put on 13 purecrystal 3x4 spacers then 13 purecrystal
Once you have measured your wrist and inserted the purecrystals, take 4 spacers and string them in the same way as the previous beads. Repeat 3 times in total.
Once the 3x4 spacers are inserted, start again on the purecrystals to finish the first round.
Once the 1st round is finished, the technique is exactly the same for the other beaded rounds, the main thing is not to make a mistake with regard to the date of your wrist.
Continue beading the 2nd round with the PureCrystal 5810 6mm Gold Pearl.
When you have less than 15 cm of wire left, add another wire and continue beading with the 5mm Gold Brass Pearls, the 1st wire will be camouflaged at the end.
If your wrist measures 15cm: insert 31 beads
If your wrist measures 16cm : insert 33 beads
If your wrist measures 17cm : insert 35 beads
For the 3rd round, insert :
-2 purecrystal JET
- 4 intercaires on top of each other
- one purecrystal JET AB
- a miyuki spacer/brass round/spacer miyuki
- one purecrystal jet AB
- a spacer miyuki/ronde brass/spacer miyuki
- again a purecrystal jet AX
If your wrist is bigger, or smaller, remove or add beads from this list.
Insert the middle part of the 3rd round, then finish it by reproducing the same bead pattern but in reverse
For the 4th round, the half flat knot technique will be used.
Watch this video at 1mn04 to know the technique : https://www.perlesandco.com/ressources/ft24191-apprendre-les-differents-noeuds-de-base-en-macrame.html
Be careful, take about 2 meters of wire
You need to get that twisted effect.
For the last round, alternate 3 purecrystal JET and a 5mm gold brass round bead. Continue until you have made the size of your wrist.
Once you have finished stringing the beads, camouflage the wires, to do this, pass the wire several times through the same beads until the wire is well stuck (use a beading needle to be able to go back into the beads). Then put a tip of glue on the bead and thread.
Cut the excess thread with a thread cutter
Make the closing knot and then make other knots spaced apart (the size of the gold button) that will serve as a clasp.
