How to make the beaded bohemian bracelets?

Step 1: Fasten the wire to toggle

Step 2: Make a beaded loop with 3mm seed beads

String ten 3mm seed beads onto the wire (including the short 5cm wire end), then pass the wire (including the short 5cm wire end) back through the firstly five seed beads to create a loop.

Step 3: Add the rest 3 types of beads for a bohemian style bracelet

1st, string the following beads on wire in sequences: six 3mm seed beads, one 6mm glass pearl, one electroplate glass bead and one 6mm glass pearl;
2nd, tie an overhand knot for creating a loop with the added beads;
3rd, push the beads towards the previous seed bead loop and then tighten the knot;
4th, wrap the wire around the knot, pass the wire through the loop and taut the wire with finger;
5th, bring the wire to the front side and string one 6mm turquoise;
6th, thread the wire through 5th seed bead and here you’ve finished one basic beaded unit for your bracelet;


7th, repeat the 1~6 procedures for 11~13 units. Pay attention to the location of drop electroplate beads while tying the overhand knots.

Step 4: Add the other part of clasp

1st, string five 3mm seed beads, one crimp bead and then the t-bar on wire in orders;
2nd, thread the wire back through the crimp bead;
3rd, squeeze the crimp bead;
4th, string another five 3mm seed beads;
