Crafting a bracelet can go way beyond your summer camp days of threading beads on twine — as these two stylish ladies demonstrate.
First, Geneva from A Pair and a Spare shows how to make a studded cone bracelet.
Here's how she did it.
1. Collect your supplies. You'll need about 20 metal stud beads (search on Ebay or Etsy for the type that you can thread a needle through), a length of elastic to fit around your wrist, two clamp beads, beading pliers, and scissors.
2. Thread one clamp bead onto the elastic. Using the beading pliers, clamp the bead down so it acts as a knot at the end of the elastic.
3. Thread the studded beads. Work them towards the clamped end, and add as many as you need to wrap around your wrist.
