You can make a one wrap bracelet with this tutorial or make a multi-wrap. To make this bracelet, start out with your bracelet length (in this case we did 7 inches), multiply that by the amount of wraps we wanted and add another foot. This length will be the amount of beading thread you will need. In this case, we used about 4 feet. We strung 4 sections of 4 different color ways to make this bracelet. Each section measures 7 inches in length.
A quick tip, when you are finished sewing all the necessary beads, lay your piece straight and smooth out the piece so that everything lays flat before you tie off your ends.

Test out different colors to play with. Here we have four samples of various color ways you can make your bracelet.

Excellent tutorial for a versatile bracelet. Many color combo’s running through my head right now!
These are definitely examples that can spark lots of color combinations!
I see pictures and supplies but where is the actual tutorial?
Hello Barbara, It’s the PDF tutorial in the Things you Need list. I am attaching this link HERE so you can find it also. Thanks.
I found the tutorial but i need to ask what are the “LIGHTENING BOLT” looking things in between 2 sections one red one gray. Sorry i dont read beading charts very good?? Is this some kind of step up.
Hello Debra, the lightning bolt is to signify the middle portion of your bracelet. I wanted to show what the ends will look like if you plan on making a longer multi-wrap bracelet.
As another option, I’ve been making bracelets like these using memory wire instead of beading thread. Use 2 wire loops cut in the middle for one complete circle, make loops on one end. I usually add 2 seed beads, then a duo bead, then alternate as above, wire loop at end. Can add dangles or not. Great for young kids using small memory wire bracelet, quick and easy to make, any color they want, won’t get hung up on anything (pull off without hurting), and can be easily remade.
We LOVE LOVE LOVE that idea. Thanks for sharing Joan!
My favorite bracelet to make. So fun,looks great endless color combinations.
