Elastic bracelets are a must-have for all jewelry-making beginners. If you're just starting out, take advantage of the latest fashion trend: "Stacking" to accumulate small elastic bracelets and practice at the same time! What is stacking? Stacking is the art of mixing different pieces of jewelry, for example a set of bracelets all along the arm, or several single necklaces of different lengths, as in this tutorial:"Necklaces for stacking crystal and gold pendants". Keep a color theme to tie them together visually, or keep a defined style.
For this tutorial, we suggest you learn how to make natural stone bracelets with different kinds of gemstones: aventurine, pink chalcedony, garnet, malachite, tinted agate... Mix with a few metal bracelets to brighten up the ensemble.
The use of elastic thread requires a little knowledge. You'll find all the technical information you need below:
