Introduction: Seed Bead Bracelet

How might we instruct our elders to make a beaded bracelet, using beads and pliers, so that they can stay occupied during their free time?

Supplies

  • Seed beads (multicolor)
  • Elastic string
  • Crimps (to finish off bracelet)
  • Magnetic clasps
  • Jump rings
  • Pliers

Step 1: Tie Off Beginning of Bracelet

  • Tie a knot on your string and use the crimps to go on your knot (squish with pliers)
  • Add magnetic clasp to the end of the crimp (tighten with pliers)
  • NOTE: IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO TIE A KNOT LOOK FOR A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE
