Pearl & Shell Charm Elastic Bracelet
This simple stretch gemstone bead bracelet uses our stunning rice shaped pearl beads for a minimal design, complete with a lovely sterling silver shell charm.
Why not customise the bracelet with your favourite gemstone beads, metal beads or charms?
We've included a strand of pearl beads, so you can use the remaining to create even more designs like matching earrings or a necklace.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Thread the pearl beads onto the elastic and decide how long you want the bracelet to be by wrapping it around your wrist - leaving enough room to tie a knot - cut the elastic using wire cutters.
3. Tie a tight knot at the end of the bracelet - see step by step photos of how to secure a tight knot here.
4. For extra security you can add a dab of glue and allow to dry before wearing.
5. Use side cutters or scissors to trim off any excess Stretch Magic.
6. Use a pair of snipe or flat nose pliers to twist open a jump ring and attach to the elastic bracelet as well as the loop of the shell charm before twisting closed.
Your bracelet is complete!
