Summer is on its way, which means it’s time for summer bracelets.
They’re quick and easy to make, so everyone can join in. Start by choosing your decoration, then pick the cord colour you’d like to use.
The bracelets shown above are finished with a macramé sliding knot.
If you’re not in the mood for macramé, we also show you how to make a classic clasp fastening using glue and cord ends.
Bracelet with twisted ring
This bracelet is finished with a clasp and a short cable chain, which allows you to adjust the length.
For this bracelet, we have used the following materials:
1pc. twisted gilded brass ring
1pc. size. 2/1.5mm gilded silver chain closing with lobster claw clasp
3cm gilded silver cable chain
+ glue
First, cut the string into two equal lengths and wrap them around the ring as shown in the picture.
Next, cut the strings to the desired length and carefully singe the ends with a lighter so that they melt and harden. This will make it easier to stick them into the cord ends of the clasp.
Next, apply a small amount of jewellery glue to the ends of the clasp and twist the ends of the cord into place using a screwing motion. Please note: you only need a very small amount of glue.
After that, stick the other end of the cord into the other end of the clasp in the same way.
Finally, take an open jumpring and use it to attach the cable chain to one side of the clasp. You can, however, decide not to use the chain; it’s only there to allow you to adjust the length of the bracelet.
Your bracelet is now finished and ready to wear.
Bracelets with ceramic stars
For these delicate bracelets, we have used ceramic stars and 0.9mm polyester cord.
If you like the small decorative bead at the end of the knot, you can use crimp beads.
Bracelets with different charms
For these bracelets, we have used a Fatima’s hand pendant, a gilded silver twisted ring and a semi-precious stone link.
For the light green bracelet, we have used 4 celestial crystals, a gilded sphere pendant, and gilded beads.
For the pink bracelet, we have used gilded crimp beads and a brushed gilded silver coin.
For the yellow bracvelet, we have used a gilded Swarovski crystal pendant.
For the grass green bracelet, we have used 4mm gilded beads and a gilded silver flower with eye.
We hope you were inspired to make your own colourful summer bracelets.
