How do you make bead bracelets with rubber bands?

Published in Beaded Bracelets 1 min read

You can make bead bracelets with rubber bands by creating a chain of rubber bands and attaching beads as you go.

Here's a breakdown based on the reference material:

  1. Create a Rubber Band Chain: Begin making a chain with rubber bands until you reach your desired length (1:26).
  2. Finishing the Bracelet: Once your chain is the right size, end it with rubber bands (2:41).
  3. Attaching the Clasp: To make it a bracelet, attach an S-clip (or an I-clip) to hook both ends together (2:41).

While the reference specifies creating a rubber band chain and using an S-clip (or an I-clip), it omits specific steps about adding beads. However, to make a beaded rubber band bracelet, you would incorporate the beads while making the chain. Here's how you might do it:

  • Before connecting a rubber band, thread it through a bead.
  • Then, connect the rubber band as you would normally to form the chain.
