Free Instructions: Friendship Heart Bracelet

Free Instructions Friendship Heart Bracelet

A perfect bracelet to wear to a festival or rave. Or a great project to make with little beaders! This may be too tricky for little beaders to do independently. But we find a team effort is fun, little beaders count the beads out ready, choose the colours, thread the beads and ‘supervise’ their bracelet coming together!

Materials Needed: 1m of cotton covered elastic ( EL), 36 pony beads in total for an adult size (We used PLCN so you have a nice choice of colours, we used 14 red beads for the heart, and a rainbow colours for 22 beads to make up the strap).


Tools Needed: A beading matt will help stop escapee beads! (BMT2), and a sharp pair of scissors (SCIMX).

Instructions

  1. Cut a 40cm length of cotton covered elastic, thread 4 pony beads of your chosen colour, move them along so you have a 10cm tail. Loop your elastic around to create a circle, pass through the first pony bead you threaded (photo 1)

  13. Cut a 30cm length of elastic (we used a different colour). Thread on as many pony beads as you would need to make your bracelet the correct size. We threaded 22 for an approx 7.5” bracelet. For a kids bracelet approx 16 beads. Move the beads to the middle of your elastic. Take one end of the elastic and pass through side bead on your beaded heart (photo 13)
