How To Make A Polished Gemstone Bracelet

We love the look of a Polished Gemstone Stretch Bracelet. We sometimes sport a single one or stack a few up. We'll show you how to thread the beads onto the clear elastic two times for added strength and security. We'll show you how to tie a special knot, how to secure the knot with jeweler's glue, and hide the knot as a finishing touch. These bracelets are so popular, we've made them into kits.

How To Make The Polished Gemstone Stretch Bracelet
Tools & Materials
18 White Howlite gemstone beads, 10mm
4 Crystal spacers, 6mm
1 Tree of Life charm, 15mm (with jump ring)
20" Elastic beading cord
Scissors
Masking tape
Tape measure
Clear nail polish or jeweler's glue
Steps
1. Start by folding a small piece of masking tape over the end of the elastic beading cord. Then slide six gemstone beads onto other end of elastic.
2. Next slide a crystal spacer, a bead, a crystal spacer, and a bead onto the elastic.
3. Slide the Tree of Life charm onto the elastic. Then slide a bead, a crystal spacer, a bead, and a crystal spacer onto the elastic, mirroring the pattern on the other side of charm.
4. Slide the remaining beads onto the elastic. Try on the bracelet and add or remove beads to adjust the size.
5. Circle the beaded strand around to form a bracelet shape. Then feed the elastic through the beads a second time. Be sure to keep a 2" tail unbeaded at the masking tape end to use for the knot later.
6. After you have gone through all the beads with the elastic a second time, remove the masking tape. Gently pull the elastic ends to tighten the bracelet and remove any gaps between the beads. Tie the two ends of the elastic together.
7. Make the knot more secure by tying the ends together again. But this time wrap one end around and through a second time. Gently pull the ends tight.
8. Finally, tie the ends together one more time, as in step 6. Gently pull the ends tight to finish the knot.
9. Trim the ends to ¼". Then add a dab of clear nail polish or jeweler's glue to the knot. Slide the adjacent bead over the knot to hide it. Let the glue dry before wearing the bracelet.
To wear the Polished Gemstone Stretch Bracelet, roll it, rather than stretching it, onto your wrist'
