Making stretch bracelets is a quick and fun way to create cute accessories. Cynthia made several stretch bracelets in coordinating colors to create a set that you can stack together or wear separately. This is a great idea for using leftover beads, too. Discover more ideas for creating stylish stretch bracelets in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Slide approximately 61 Czech glass 3mm matte flamingo round glass pearl beads onto 0.5mm Elasticity, or however many beads you need for a comfortable stretch bracelet. Keep in mind the knot will add about a quarter of an inch in length.
Slide approximately 30 Czech glass 6mm matte purple velvet round glass pearl beads onto 0.8mm Elasticity, or however many beads you need for a comfortable stretch bracelet. Keep in mind the knot will add some length.
Add three Czech glass 9mm milky periwinkle with copper patina roundel beads to 0.8mm Elasticity, followed by one TierraCast antique silver-plated pewter beaded twist EuroBead. Repeat this pattern approximately seven times or however long needed for a comfortable stretch bracelet.
Add a TierraCast antique gold 5mm coiled heishi spacer and two Dakota Stones amethyst 6mm star cut round beads to 0.8mm Elasticity and then add the following pattern:
Repeat this pattern four times or however many times needed for a comfortable length and leave off the last star cut bead. Add a heishi spacer to this end of the bracelet.

Make a mirror image of the bead pattern on the other side of the center coin bead. Add a cylinder bead to the end.
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!
