Pearl Bracelet Tutorial:
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.
String three different beads on two of the strands of twine.
There are four strands of twine, but we will always be leaving one strand free of beads.
Tie a knot using all four strands of twine, after the beads.
At this point, you can trim off the extra strands from the beginning knot of the bracelet.
Make sure not to cut off the twine strands for making the bracelet.
Continue adding 3 random beads and tying knots until you are at the length of your bracelet that works for you.
For me, it was about 6-inches.
This could also easily be made longer for a necklace but you would need to start with longer strands of twine.
Untie the beginning knot.
We are going to tie the ends of the bracelet together.
This is not a bracelet with a clasp that can be unclasped to put on and removed so make sure the length is good so it can slide on and off over your wrist.
Tie a right over left knot at both ends of the bracelet, and then tie a knot connecting the two.
That makes this connection knot actually three knots.
Make sure the final knot is good and tight by pulling on both sides of the bracelet near that final knot.
Trim the excess twine as close to the final knot as you can.
This boho DIY Pearl Bracelet will look so cute with any outfit you have!

Just found your link on Southern Lovely. Your bracelet is so cute, I love the combination of sparkle and twine. I think we both had the same idea - I also made a twine & bead bracelet. If you'd like to check mine out, you can find it here: http://crazyiniowa.blogspot.com/2011/11/button-beads-bracelet.html

How do you get it on and off your wrist? Did I miss something on the tutorial?
Katie Adams
I made it just big enough that it would slide on and off.
Libby vignes
What a simply beautiful bracelet. Can't wait to make one for my grand daughter's birthday, thanks a lot
Beverly
What size beads n twine did you use anything special
Katie
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.
Elena
Esta molt be rustic i elegant a la vegada.
Katie
Thank you Elena!
Angie Long
Hi. I love this Boho, Beachy style bracelet. I got through the whole tutorial & you lost me when it was time to tie it together. I untied the beginning end but got lost after that. I think I made my knots too close to my beads. I'll try it again.
Katie Adams
I am so glad that you love it, Angie! Sorry, the end was confusing. It can be hard to explain how to do it. I guess that means I need to make a video!
