Beaded Wrap Bracelet

Beaded Wrap Bracelet


This bead string can either be a wrap bracelet, or a necklace. Here's what you need:

50 in. fishing line
Small beads
Seed beads
1 button with a loop on the back




Fold your fishing line in half, and tie a knot about 1 in. from the loop. 


String a seed beed onto the double-strand fishing line.



Separate the line, and string one seed bead onto each strand. 



Bring the strands together again, and string five small beads, followed by two seed beads. Repeat until the strand, including the loop, is twenty inches. 



When it is long enough, string a seed bead on each strand, and then bring the strands together, and string one seed bead. 



Tie off your line, then tie a single knot about an inch down the line. Put a dab of super glue on the knots to hold them in place. Cut the fishing line just above the highest knot. 


Fish the loop at the end of the strand through the button.



Take the end of the loop, and thread the bead strand through it all the way, and pull tight. This is so the button is firmly attatched. 


This is your strand you can now use it as a bracelet, by wrapping it three times around your writst, or you can use it as a necklace. 

Enjoy!
