Make your own jewelry and start with this simple twine and pearl bracelet. An easy DIY jewelry craft tutorial idea that is simple to make and fun to wear!
Making handmade jewelry is so fun. I love wearing something I made, especially when I get compliments on my creations.
Supplies Used: Some links may be too similar items when exact items couldn’t be found online
Start with 4 strands of twine about 14 inches long each. Tie the four strands together with a knot leaving a small loop in the end.
Even though there are 4 strands, use only 3 beads between each knot so there is always an empty strand.
Tie a knot after stringing the three beads.
At this point, those extra strands were getting in my way and where bugging me so I trimmed them off close to knot.
Continue adding beads and tying knots until you are at a length that works for you as a bracelet. This could also easily be made longer for a necklace but you would need to start with longer strands of twine.
Untie the first knot so the two ends can be tied together to connect the two ends of the bracelet. This is not a bracelet that can be unclasped to put on and remove so make sure the length is good so it can slide on and off.
Tie a knot at the end of the two loose ends and then tie a knot connecting the two. So this last knot is actually three knots.
Make sure the final knot is good and tight and trim the twine as close to the final knot as you can.
Isn’t it pretty?

Libby vignes says

Beverly says
What size beads n twine did you use anything special
Katie says
I’m sorry but I am not quite sure. I used what I had on hand and it was no longer in it’s original package. The biggest thing is to make sure the twine will fit through the hole in the bead, and then you can use whatever size bead you would like.
