Instructions

Step 1

Gather your supplies

Gather your supplies together, setting out one of each on a bead mat or soft flat surface.

Step 2

Measure and Cut the Elasticity Cord

Wrap the elasticity cord around your wrist to determine the appropriate bracelet length. Leave an extra 10cm + on both ends for knot tying and cut the cord using Side Cutters.

Step 3

Secure One End of the Elasticity Cord

To prevent beads from sliding off, tie a temporary knot or use a bit of blue tack.

Step 4

Prepare Your Beads

Lay the beads out in your preferred colour sequence on a beading mat to prevent rolling.

Step 5

Thread the Beads

Begin threading the beads onto the elasticity cord in the rainbow pattern. Continue until you have enough beads to comfortably wrap around your wrist.

Step 6

Check the Bracelet Size 

Wrap the unfinished bracelet around your wrist to check for fit. Adjust by adding or removing beads if necessary.

Step 7

Secure the Knot

Tie a double knot by looping the two ends of the elasticity cord together tightly. For extra security, tie a surgeon’s knot by passing one end through the loop twice before pulling tight.

Step 8

Apply E6000+ Glue

Dab a small amount of E6000+ glue directly onto the knot to seal it. Allow the glue to dry for at least 24 hours to ensure maximum strength.

Step 9

Trim Excess Cord

Once the glue has dried, carefully trim the excess cord close to the knot. If possible, slide a bead over the knot to conceal it for a seamless finish.
