A clever use of stretch cord makes all kinds of bracelet designs possible. Cheri started out simple with single-strand bracelets that combine beautiful blue and green fire-polished beads. Then, she challenged herself by using two and even three strands of stretch cord along with two-hole Baroque Cabochon beads. Discover more ideas for creating stylish stretch bracelets in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
You will start by making the center row of the bracelet. Add the bottom hole of a Czech glass 2-hole 7mm backlit petroleum Baroque Cabochon bead to a 12-inch length of 0.8mm Elasticity, followed by a fire-polished 6mm bead in ColorTrends Saturated Metallic Navy Peony, the top hole of a Cabochon bead, and a fire-polished 6mm bead in ColorTrends Saturated Metallic Lapis Blue. Repeat this pattern eight times. Feel free to switch between using the lapis and navy peony colors at random.
Add four fire-polished 3mm beads in ColorTrends Saturated Metallic Navy Peony to 0.8mm Elasticity, followed by the top hole of a Cabochon bead. Repeat eight times. Knot the ends of the cords together using a surgeons knot and trim any excess cord.
Add the following pattern to 0.8mm Elasticity:
Repeat this pattern once and then knot the ends of the cords together using a surgeons knot and trim any excess cord.
Repeat this pattern once and then knot the ends of the cords together using a surgeons knot and trim any excess cord.
Repeat this pattern three times and then knot the ends of the cords together using a surgeons knot and trim any excess cord.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
