Second bracelet. I tried both wire and elastic. Less materials for elastic. I fail at elastic but below are the materials if you want to make them.
(I miss my bicones, they do shine so prettily)
Materials:
| 4 – 8mm rondelles | I think I bought mine from eBay a long time ago but can try this: https://amzn.to/47zWTGm |
| 20 – 6/0 seed beads (previously mislabeled as 8/0) | Czech beads are ok, no need for Miyuki, etc. I got mine from Beadaholique but can’t find them on Amazon anymore. |
| 11/0 seed beads (qty varies) – to be used underneath the letter cube beads, I like free-moving and spinning letter beads. For qty, I just add one bead over the width of the cube bead so it can move. | For the wired one, I used Czech. For the elastic, since it was double string, I used Miyuki cause they’re uniform in size (bit hard fit but just need a little tugging). |
| 4 – flat disc spacer beads | https://amzn.to/4e7QJzH |
| 4 – heart spacer beads | https://amzn.to/4e7QJzH |
| letter cube beads (qty varies) | https://amzn.to/3Bkz9tH – These are actually nice, better quality than the circle letter beads I got. |
| 20in. elastic string (FOR ELASTIC VERSION ONLY) | I used what I had leftover but can also use this: https://amzn.to/4eac4Zv. It comes with glue. I tried doing the double string trick so I won’t have to use glue when tying at the end. |
| *Below are materials for the WIRE version only | |
| 2 – wire protectors (FOR WIRE VERSION ONLY) | https://amzn.to/4dcekOz – Not the best quality but a lot of the things I needed were in this one product so it was worth it (same link for the next 4 items below). |
| 10 – jump rings (FOR WIRE VERSION ONLY) | https://amzn.to/4dcekOz – You can also use chain extenders but it was faster to use jump rings than try to find mine. |
| clasp (FOR WIRE VERSION ONLY) | https://amzn.to/4dcekOz |
| 2 – crimp tubes (FOR WIRE VERSION ONLY) | https://amzn.to/4dcekOz |
| 2 – crimp covers (FOR WIRE VERSION ONLY) | https://amzn.to/4dcekOz |
| charm pendant (FOR WIRE VERSION ONLY) | https://amzn.to/3MWpWu8 – This is way too much so I hope you have some stashed. I didn’t have anything I liked so I bought some. |
| 10in. – 49-24 beading wire (length varies- depends on your wrist size. I’d say add 3-4 inches extra to your wrist size.) (FOR WIRE VERSION ONLY) | https://amzn.to/3Zt6uN9 – Can use 19 strands (cheaper) but I like the way the 49-24 holds. Will test out other strands and gauge. |
I have an SKZ Felix version if you want to check it out.
