Instructions

    • 1

      Purchase the supplies you will need. For color and variety, get clear beads, wooden beads or sparkly beads.

    • 2

      Measure your wrist to see how much jewelry string you'll need. Make sure to leave extra space for the twist clasp. You don't have to use the twist clasps. You could just tie the jewelry string and slip it on and off your arm.

      Put aside the letters of your name and choose the other beads that will fill in the other space on the jewelry string. You may choose colorful beads, sparkly beads, wooden beads or plain-colored beads. Take the string and put a few non-alphabetic beads on first. Then put your alphabet letters to spell your name. Make sure to put an even amount of filler beads on each side of your name to make the bracelet balanced.

      Attach the twist clasps to your name bracelet. You may choose to tie your bracelet and allow for a slip on bracelet. If you decide to have the bracelet tied, tie a triple knot before putting the beads onto the bracelet.
