STEP 1: PREPARE YOUR WORKSPACE STEP 2: MEASURE AND CUT THE RIBBON Begin by measuring the organza ribbon to your desired bracelet length. It’s essential to consider how tightly or loosely you want the bracelet to fit.
Add an extra 2-3 inches to the measured length. This extra length will be used for tying knots and attaching the clasps.
STEP 3: THREAD THE RIBBON STEP 4: STRING THE BEADS AND PENDANTS Start by using a yarn needle and insert around 2 inches of the ribbon through the hole.
Select the first bead and slide it to the center of the ribbon.
Next, add a separator, which could be a smaller wooden bead or a metal spacer ring like I did. This keeps your beads and pendants evenly spaced.
The pattern I used was 2 beads, 1 spacer; then 3 beads, 2 spacer and then again 2 beads, 1 spacer leaving around a half inch between each group.
Make an overhand knot before and after each group of beads. Pull it tight, ensuring the beads don’t slide around.
If you want to add extra security, you can use a tiny drop of clear nail polish on the knot to hold it in place.
Repeat the pattern: knot, wooden bead, spacer, bead, knot until you’ve reached your desired bracelet length.
STEP 6: ATTACH CLASPS Measure your bracelet around your wrist and mark where you want the clasp to be. Make a tight knot on each end before your mark.
Use fold-over crimp ends on the string ends.
Place them just before the mark but after the knot because he clasps.
Placing the ribbon in the cord crimp end, tightened them with a flat nose plier to secure the ribbon well.
With your pliers, open a little bit one jump ring, enough to insert the cord end ring.
Insert the fold-over crimp end and a clasp piece on each end.
Closed the jump ring again.
STEP 7: TRIM EXCESS RIBBON Carefully trim any excess ribbon, ensuring the ends are neat and not fraying.
With a match or lighter, carefully heat the ends to secure them and avoid future fraying.
STEP 9: MAKE MATCHING EARRINGS. Using the sabe spacers used for the bracelet, insert one eye pin on each side.
With a round-nosed pliers make a loop with the wire left on both ends.
Using jump rings connect one eye pin loop to the pendant and the other eye pin loop to the earring hooks.
You are done!
