Hello! I’m excited to be getting back into beading after taking a long break due to some.. err… issues. Now that I’m slowly easing back into it, I decided to make fandom letter bracelets, especially since I’m going to see Stray Kids in concert this year (hurray!).
I’d like to do simple and affordable bracelet patterns, but I also want to use the shiny beads I’ve had stashed away for years. I’m still searching for a quicker, easier design, but for now, here’s what I have.
Materials:
| 4 – 4mm bicones | I had these on hand but can check these out https://amzn.to/3MUS8hf or find something less qty/cheaper |
| 6 – 8mm rondelles | I think I bought mine from eBay a long time ago but can try this: https://amzn.to/47zWTGm |
| 4 – 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. | I think I used Czech beads as well although I had to cut my wire slanted so it was easier to string these tiny, tiny beads. I would have gone crazy if I had to use 15/0. |
| 10 – flat round rondelle spacer beads | https://amzn.to/4e7QJzH |
| 10 – round ball spacer beads | https://amzn.to/4e7QJzH |
| 2 – wire protectors | 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 | https://amzn.to/4dcekOz – You can also use chain extenders but it was faster to use jump rings than try to find mine. |
| clasp | https://amzn.to/4dcekOz |
| 2 – crimp tubes | https://amzn.to/4dcekOz |
| 2 – crimp covers | https://amzn.to/4dcekOz |
| letter cube beads (qty varies) | https://amzn.to/3Bkz9tH – These are actually nice, better quality than the circle letter beads I got. |
| charm pendant | 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.) | 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. |
