Unique Bracelet Ideas - Make a Felt Flower Bracelet in Pumpkin Color with Beads
Summary: Today I will teach you how to make a unique flower bracelet with beads and felt. Why do I say this flower bracelet is distinctive? You will know if you keep reading!
Inspired by a mass of crafts for the just past Halloween, a unique bracelet idea sprang to my mind - a flower bracelet in pumpkin color must be adorable! Instead of making blooming flowers, I decided to make flower buds out of orange felt. With red beads as pistils and two garish felt leaves, this bracelet must be the most eye-catching one!

How to make a felt flower bracelet with beads?
Step 1: make a four-strand braided bracelet
1st, cut out a piece of felt which is a little bit longer than your wrist, cut it into four strips except the end;
2nd, clasp a ribbon end at the uncut end;
3rd, braid these four felt strips;
4th, clasp the other ribbon end at the end when you finish braiding.
Step 2: make a flower bud
1st, cut out ten strips of felt with different lengths and cut each of them into half except the end;
2nd, fold a strip in half along the cutting line;
3rd, start to roll the strip tightly;
4th, glue the end to get a flower bud.
Step 3: add beads and make leaves
1st, continue to make another nine buds;
2nd, glue a red bead in the center of each bud as a pistil;
3rd, cut out two leaf shapes from dark green felt and two from light green felt. The dark green leaves are larger than the light green ones;
4th, sew a light green leaf on a dark green leaf along the edge of light green one. Do the same to the remaining two leaves.
Step 4: attach embellishments and clasp
1st, sew two two-layered leaves on the braided bracelet in place;
2nd, glue ten buds next to the leaves in the way you like;
3rd, the effect will like the third picture below;
4th, attach the hook and eye clasp with jump rings to both ribbon ends.
This is the finished felt flower bracelet:
For the base of this bracelet, I chose braiding. I thought it might be a piece of cake for most girls because they are familiar with braiding hair. Wearing such a brilliant felt flower bracelet in this cold season will give you a good mood!
