First, the required materials:
Crystal beads: choose your favorite crystal beads, which can be the same color or a combination of multiple colors.
Elastic thread: use transparent or elastic thread matching with crystal color, which is convenient for threading and comfortable to wear.
Glue (optional): If additional fixed nodes are needed, an appropriate amount of glue can be prepared.
Scissors: used for cutting thread ends.
Second, the production steps:
1. Preparation:
Measuring wrist size: Measure wrist size with a soft ruler or wire gauge to determine the number of beads needed.
Choice of beads: Choose the appropriate crystal beads according to your own preferences.
2. Start beading:
Knotting: Fold the elastic thread in half and tie one end, leaving a certain length of thread tail.
Beading: Thread the crystal beads through the thread and string them in turn. You can thread according to your own design, such as alternating colors and sizes.
Continue beading: according to the bracelet design, continue threading and beading until the appropriate length is reached.
3. End crimping:
Fixed node: when the bracelet reaches the required length, leave enough length at the other end, tie a knot, and then re-thread the ends at both ends into several beads for fixing.
Inspection and trimming: check the overall quality and length of the bracelet, and trim the thread as needed.
Optional step: If you feel that the joint is not strong enough, you can fix the joint with a small amount of glue.
Third, matters needing attention:
Buy beads: When buying crystal beads, choose beads with good quality and luster.
Selection of thread: the thickness of elastic thread should be suitable for the aperture of threading, and it should have enough elasticity and strength.
Careful operation: Be patient and careful in the beading process to avoid the breakage of the thread or the damage of the beads.
