Supplies & Tools for Tassel Bead Bracelet

  • wood, glass, or stone beads (I used these olive wood beads and 4 mm turquoise beads for this example.)
  • elastic
  • super glue  (I used this super glue for this project.)
  • tassel  (You can make one yourself but for this project I used these tassels.)
  • 2 jump rings
  • chain nose pliers
  • bent nose pliers (Optional, you can use 2 pair of chain nose pliers if you want.)
  • bead stoppers (Optional, but a HUGE help!)
  • bracelet board (Also optional, but keeps the beads from rolling away.)

Basically, you just cut a long string of elastic and clip a bead stopper on one end so the beads don’t slip off.  Measure your wrist and add a few inches so you’ll have enough to tie it off.  Before you start beading give the elastic a good stretch.  It’s also helpful to lay out the beads on the bracelet board before you start.

Then just string the beads onto the elastic and tie a knot.  I use a surgeon’s knot which is like a square knot but the string goes around twice.  Here’s a video that will show you how.

One more thing that I always do, just to make SURE the bracelet doesn’t come untied, is to add a tiny dot of super glue on the knot before I trim it.  You’ll see that in the video, too.  Then you can slide the knot to fit inside a bead so you won’t even see it.

After the bracelet is finished, I add embellishments.  The first jump ring goes through the loop at the top of the tassel.

Close that one and attach it to the bracelet with the other jump ring.

You could add charms with or instead of the tassel, too.
