Beebeecraft Tutorial on How to Make a Beaded Bangle Bracelet

Today I will show you a new charming seed bead bangle bracelet making process. Check the steps below and have a nice try if you love it!

With beads and wires at hand, you can actually make many patterns for bracelet. This time, I adopted the woven pattern in friendship bracelet in making this seed bead bracelet. With 3 strings of seed bead woven patterns, I made it into a unique and charming beaded bangle bracelet. Lets see how I make this beaded bangle bracelet.


Craft supplies for jewelry making in making the beaded bangle bracelet:
2mm Orange Cubic Seed Beads
4mm Blue Crystal Glass Beads
Scissors




Instructions in making the beaded bangle bracelet:

Step 1: Make the Starting cord

1st, snip off 2 long tiger wire, and tie knot to each hole of the clasp as shown in the picture;
2nd, slide a 4mm blue cubic bead to the 4 wires, and then divide them into 2 sets. Slide 3 orange 2mm cubic beads and a 4mm blue cubic bead to each set;
3rd, snip off a long tiger wire (with the same length) and thread the wire through the 2 4mm blue cubic bead;



4th, thread a 4mm blue cubic bead to the wires at sides and another blue cubic bead to the 2 wires in the right middle(the new wire in 3rd process);
5th, repeat the pattern: thread a 4mm blue cubic bead to the wires at sides, and slide a 4mm blue cubic bead to every 2 wires as shown in the picture;
6th, cross the wire at side through the 2nd blue cubic bead in line and then cross back through the bead on itself and tighten. Do the same as for the other wire on side until youve weave the pattern in the picture below.

Step 2: Beaded the bangle bracelet pattern

1st, slide 2 orange cubic seed beads to each wire, and then divide them into 3 sets by crossing every 2 wire through a 4mm blue glass bead;
2nd, slide 2 orange cubic seed beads plus a 4mm blue cubic bead at each wire;
3rd, repeat 1st and 2nd process to bead the bangle bracelet pattern until it reaches a proper length.

Step 3: Make the ending cord
1st, slide a 4mm blue cubic bead to the wires at sides, and a 4mm blue cubic beads to every 2 wires in the middle;
2nd, cross the first wire through the second bead and then cross back through the bead in line. Do the same as for the last wire;
3rd, slide a blue cubic bead to each wire at side and a bead to the 4 wires in the middle. Divide the wires into 2 sets, and slide a blue cubic bead to each set;
4th, slide 2 orange cubic seed beads to each set, and combine them by adding a blue cubic bead and finally tie wires to the clasp and trim off the excess.




Lets have a look at the final piece of this DIY beaded bangle bracelet!

I came up with this beaded bangle bracelet pattern from friendship bracelet woven pattern, and it works out perfect with the cubic seed beads and glass beads on. If you want to follow this Beebeecraft Tutorial about making seed bead bangle bracelet, you can use other beads to replace the cubic beads. Anyway, this is a good DIY project to learn stitching skills. Worth trying!
