Mack & Rex Bracelet Tutorial
Learn how to make stretchy beaded bracelets with our step-by-step tutorial
Step 1: Crimp the End of the Bracelet
Crimp beads will keep the beads from sliding off while you're making your bracelet.
Step 2: Threading the Needles
If you have our lock top needles, you will be able to slide the elastic to the top and lock it in so the needle doesn't slide off.
Step 3: Threading the Beads - Two at a Time Method
You can hold both needles at the same time or thread one full side, and then the other side afterward. This is also the point where you would measure if the bracelet is the correct size.
