Step 1: Measure Your Wrist. Size
Using a measuring tape, measure your wrist circumference. Add 6 cm to this measurement to ensure the bangle will slide smoothly from your hand onto your wrist. For reference, bangles typically come in three sizes: large (24 cm), medium (22 cm), and small (20 cm).
Step 3: Cut the Rope
Using scissors, cut the rope at the marked length. This will be your bangle's final size.
Step 5: Join the Ends
After applying the glue, press the two ends of the rope together firmly and hold for 10 seconds until dry.
Step 6: Start Sewing.
Thread a needle and secure it to the rope by sewing a small stitch and tying a knot.
Step 7: Create Seven Rows of Light Green Beads.
String the light green beads onto your thread, then wrap them around the rope. Continue wrapping until you have completed seven rows of beads.
Step 8: Add One Row of Yellow Beads. String the yellow beads onto your thread, then wrap them around the rope to create a single row.
Step 9: Seven rows of dark green beads. Insert dark green beads onto the thread, then roll them around the rope. This will create seven complete rows of beads covering the rope.
Step 10: Add one row of yellow beads.
Insert a single row of yellow beads onto the thread, then roll the beads around the rope.
Step 11: Repeat the pattern.
Continue covering the rope with this bead pattern until complete.
Step 12: Secure the final beads.
Once the pattern is complete, secure the design by threading the needle through the rope and tying a tight knot to hold the beads in place.
Step 17: The Summer Beaded Bangle is ready. Congratulations, you've completed your handcrafted beaded bangle.
