DIY PERLER BEAD BRACELETS !

One of my favorite hobbies I’ve picked up lately is making bracelets! 

Here is how I have been making my bracelets and a link for all the supplies I use! I truly love them and look forward to making them for friends and family. I also can’t stop ordering new fun beads and I am currently waiting for these and these to arrive!

I based my design inspo off of these fun colorful bracelets by Roxanne Assoulin. 

You'll Need:

• Perler beads (fuse beads)

• 0.8mm - 1mm elastic string

• letter beads

• 5mm crimp covers

• gold spacer beads

• super glue

• scissors

• parchment paper

• bead tweezers

• flat nose pliers

How to Bake Perler Beads: 

• preheat oven to 400°

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread beads onto baking sheet standing them up upright  (first photo)

• Bake for 2-4 minutes, but keep an eye on them or else they will spread flat and the hole will be too small to thread string through!

• Let them cool (second photo)

• bead your lil heart out 

How to make bracelets: 

• Tie double knot on one end of the elastic thread 

• Bead, bead, bead 

• I find using regular tweezers or these make it MUCH easier to get the beads onto the thread

• Tie ends in a single knot 

• Place single drop of superglue onto the knot after it dries, trim the ends. 

• Place a crimp cover over the knot and using pliers like these squeeze the crimp cover closed.

What crafts have you been into lately? Also, if you want any bracelets I’d love to make them for you! Just shoot me a message and I can send them to ya!
