Elastic Cord	Varies	Stretchy
Scissors	1	Sharp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here's how to make your bracelet using the materials above, according to the reference provided:

1. Prepare the Safety Pins:

   • Open all 26 safety pins.
   • Thread six seed beads onto each safety pin. This step will add color and detail to your bracelet.

2. Cut the Elastic Cord:

   • Cut a length of elastic cord that is long enough to comfortably fit around your wrist. Make sure to leave some extra length for knotting. A good estimate would be about 8 inches, but it may need to be adjusted according to your wrist size.

3. String the Safety Pins:

   • Start stringing the safety pins onto the elastic cord. You'll pass the cord through the loop of each safety pin.
   • Continue adding all safety pins.

4. Add Additional Beads (Optional):

   • If you wish, add more seed beads onto the elastic cord between the safety pins. This can enhance the design and color.

5. Alternate Safety Pin Directions:

   • To make the bracelet more interesting, after every few safety pins, change the direction you string them onto the cord. This will create a more varied design.

6. Finishing the Bracelet:

   • Cut the elastic cord, leaving some extra length for knotting and comfort.
   • Tie the ends of the elastic cord securely with a double or triple knot.
   • Trim any excess cord, being careful not to cut too close to the knot.

Now you have a finished safety pin bracelet!
