Black and White Striped Bangles

Tools and supplies:

• Nylon rope
• Size 12/0 black glass beads
• Size 12/0 white glass beads
• Polyester thread
• Needle
• Glue gun
• Glue sticks
• Measuring tape
• Scissors
• Pen

Step 1: Measure the size of your wrist. Using a measuring tape, measure the size of your wrist. Add 6cm to the measurement of your wrist, the addition will ensure that the bangle moves smoothly from your hand to your wrist.

The average size of a bangle is 24cm, medium size bangle is 22cm and small size bangle is 20cm.

Step 2: Measure the rope with measuring tape. The measurements recorded with the measuring tape for your wrist will now be used to measure the rope, which is the foundation of the bangle. Use a pen to mark the length size.

Step 3: Cut the rope. Using a pair of scissors, cut the rope on the place marked with the pen, which marks the length size of the bangle.

Step 4: Apply glue. Using a glue gun, apply glue on the end of the rope.

Step 5: Join the two ends. Once the glue has been applied, stick the two ends of the rope together and let it dry for 10 seconds.

Step 6: Attach the thread. Insert the needle and thread in the rope by sowing and securing the thread, by creating a knot.

Step 7: Row of black beads. Start the design by inserting black beads on the thread, roll the beads around the rope, creating a single row of beads and stop once you see the beginning of the row of black beads.

Step 8: Row of white beads. Insert a row of white beads on the thread, roll the beads around the rope, creating a single row of beads and stop once you see the beginning of the row of white beads.

Step 9: Repeat the pattern. Create and cover the rope with the black and white row design pattern.

Step 10: Close off the design. Once the pattern is complete, close off the design by inserting the needle and thread into the rope by creating a knot to secure the beads.

Step 11: Complete. The Black and White Striped Beaded Bangle is complete.
