DIY | Bracelets with Heishi Beads for Men
In this blog post, we show you how to create beautiful and personalised unisex bracelets and bracelets for men using flat, round heishi beads, elastic cord, wooden beads, steel beads, Buddha beads and charms. The materials have a rustic yet stylish look - and there are endless ways to combine them to make individual bracelets or entire bracelet sets. By combining the different beads and pendants according to your individual style, you can create both simple and distinctive designs. Thanks to the elastic cord, the bracelets are easy to put on and take off and the flexible fit allows you to adjust the length to your wrist. You will need scissors and superglue (e.g. Loctite gel) for the project. Customise your own bracelets - or create a whole set of bracelets as a gift that you can present in an elegant gift box. There are no limits to your imagination: You can realise your very own design with just a few materials.

Your bracelet is ready!

What are heishi beads?
Heishi beads are small, flat and disc-shaped beads, often made of semi-precious stones, shells, wood or clay. They originate from Native American cultures and are known for their smooth shape and natural look. Heishi beads are especially used in bracelets and necklaces, where they create a rustic, casual and handcrafted look - perfect for men's jewellery and unisex designs.
