This design will create a thick cuff-like bracelet that is covered with seed beads. For a wider bracelet, use 1-inch (2. 54-centimeter) safety pins. For a narrower bracelet, use ¾-inch (1. 91-centimeter) safety pins. [2] X Research source
For extra security, add a drop of glue into the clasp before you close the pin. Super glue would work the best. [3] X Research source
Tie a knot in the bottom of each elastic. This will keep the pins from falling off while you string them. [5] X Research source
The last pin should be upside down. If the last pin is right-side-up, take it off.
You can also trim the ends of the elastic close to the knot, then heat-seal them with a lighter. [7] X Research source
This deign will create a delicate chain of beaded safety pins joined together with jump rings.
Use larger seed beads for this. A size 10/0 would work great. Anything smaller may not fit onto the pin.
Add a drop of super glue into the clasp for extra security.
Pull the two ends of the jump ring past each other when opening it, not away. Push the two ends of the jump ring towards each other when closing it. If there is a gap in the jump ring after you close it, you can pinch it shut with pliers.
This method will give you a statement cuff-like bracelet with fabric woven into it and a brooch on the front. You can use regular wire instead. In this case, cut two pieces, each a little longer than your wrist circumference. [12] X Research source
If you are using memory wire, bend the wire against the curve, not with it. [14] X Research source You are only making a loop in one end of each wire, not both ends.
For a more interesting bracelet, add a spacer bead between each safety pin.
Weave back and forth across the bracelet until the space between the beads is filled.
You can secure the ends of the fabric with a needle and thread or fabric glue.
Skip this step if you used memory wire; the bracelet should be able to hold its curved shape on its own.
