How To Make Your First Beaded Bracelet

Written by Jessica Alias. Posted in Leisure Activities

beaded bracelet

Want to make a beaded bracelet by yourself ?

 

Well, you've come to the right place! As a general rule of thumb, you have to remember that most beaded wrist bracelets are 7-9 inches in length. However, they can be made any length you desire.

Also, if you would like to take a modern twist on your beaded bracelet and make it an anklet instead, add 2-4 inches to whatever length you want. Now that you've got that down, I'm going to tell you how to make your first perfect beaded bracelet.

All you have to do is follow the following instructions.

Step One

Cut your wire. There's no right or wrong brand you can use as far as wire goes, just make sure that it's suitable for jewelry making. Once you cut your wire, you should make sure that there is enough length for the bracelet, plus an additional 3 or 4 inches. The reason why I say that you should have an additional couple of inches is just to be on the safe side. You don't want to get all the way to the end of your bracelet and find that you don't have enough room, do you?

Every great item that has ever made its mark in history has all started from somewhere.

 

As tiny as they are, you would think that beads wouldn't have that much of an important backstory, right? Wrong! Did you forget about the abacus? It's only known as one of history's FIRST mathematical tools...and it's completely made out of beads! Some people refer to it as "the first calculator," since it was created LONG before the technology age came along.

History

It's been documented by several sources that the very first use of an abacus dates back to the days of 2400 BC. Supposedly, it was made with sand and pebbles. The Babylonians used it. Surprisingly, they weren't the only ones who used the abacus. China and India useds abacus' with beads in the first century. An exact date hasn't been pinpointed just yet, but it's been said that the abacus was used with beads by these two countries at some point only two times in a three year period.
