How to Make an Easy Diamond Beaded Bracelet
If you're looking to add a touch of elegance to your
jewelry collection, a
diamond beaded bracelet is a great choice. The good news is, making one is easier than you might think! In this guide, we'll show you how to make an easy diamond
beaded bracelet that's perfect for any occasion.
What You'll Need
- Diamond beads (in your desired size)
- Stretch cord or jewelry wire
- Crimp beads
- Jewelry pliers (optional, but helpful)
Step 1: Choose Your Diamond Beads
The first step in making your diamond beaded
bracelet is choosing your beads. Diamond beads can be found at most craft stores, and they come in a variety of sizes and colors. For this project, we recommend using smaller diamond beads to create a delicate, sophisticated look.
Step 2: Measure Your Wrist
Before you start stringing your beads, measure your wrist to determine how long you want your bracelet to be. Add a little extra length to your measurement to ensure a comfortable fit.
Step 3: String Your Beads
Once you've chosen your diamond beads and measured your wrist, it's time to start stringing. Cut a length of stretch cord or jewelry wire that's a few inches longer than your desired length, and thread your first diamond bead onto the cord or wire. Add additional diamond beads until your bracelet is the desired length.
Step 4: Add Your Crimp Beads
After you've strung all your diamond beads, it's time to add your crimp beads. Crimp beads are small, metal beads that are used to secure the ends of your cord or wire. Thread a crimp bead onto the cord or wire, and then thread the end of the cord or wire through a jump ring or clasp. Loop the end of the cord or wire back through the crimp bead, and use pliers to gently squeeze the crimp bead shut. Trim any excess cord or wire.
Step 5: Finish Your Bracelet
Once you've added your crimp beads, your bracelet is complete! Try it on to make sure it fits comfortably, and enjoy your new diamond beaded bracelet.
