We love a good stretch bracelet. They are easy to make and easy to wear. Our design today uses two-hole Czech Chevron beads with Beadalon Elasticity.
What you’ll need for this bracelet:
- .5mm Elasticity – A021633
- 6mm Silver Metal Bead – A007019
- Czech Chevron Beads – Z010032, Z010466 & Z010472
Try using other Chevron colors!
Directions:
- Cut a piece of elastic at 2 feet. Stretch elastic to loosen the elasticity.
- Slide on elastic two beads of each chevron color. Repeat this sequence until you’ve reached a good amount to fit your wrist. Our sample bracelet consists of 6 sequences or 36 chevron beads.
- Loop through to the second holes of the chevron beads that you added in Step 2. Make sure to leave an elastic loop.
- Take both elastic ends and slide through metal bead.
- Now you’re going to make a Tricky Ricky knot with the elastic loop you made in step 3 and the two elastic ends. Follow illustration to make knot and cut excess elastic leaving a small stub. This will tuck inside the silver bead.

What a cute little bracelet for summer! I was wondering do you need to glue the tucked in part of the string? I don’t have much experience with elastic cord. I always worry it will come undone.
You can use a small dot of Super New Glue or Hypo Cement.
Very much like the simple design. Great way to knot.
