Equipment

  • Flat Nose Pliers
  • Bent-nose pliers
  • Yarn or embroidery needle

Ingredients

  • Wooden beads size and color of your choice

  • Organza ribbon complementary color to your beads
  • Clasps and jump rings
  • Fold-over crip ends.
  • Clear nail polish optional for knot securing

Instructions

STEP 1: PREPARE YOUR WORKSPACE

  • Set up a clean, well-lit workspace with all your materials within reach. This will make the crafting process more enjoyable and organized.

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

  • Thread one end of the ribbon through the eye of a large needle if your ribbon is thick. This makes it easier to string the beads and pendants.

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 5: ADD THE PENDANTS

  • Open a 6mm jump ring with your flat nose pliers and insert the pendant.
  • Insert one spacer in the jump ring and close the jump ring.
  • Repeat with all spacers.

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 8: FINAL TOUCHES

  • Take a moment to admire your creation. Adjust the beads and pendants if necessary to ensure they’re evenly spaced.
  • DONE!!!! Woot wootLISTO!!! Yupiiiiiiii

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!
