pearl charm stretch bracelets

Cut a 10" length of Stretch Magic® jewelry cord for each bracelet you would like to make.

Thread beads to each cord.

Tie the Stretch Magic® into a tight surgeon’s knot, then tuck its ends back through the closest beads.

Add a dab of bead stringing glue to the knot. Now, pull the ends tight, so the two adjacent beads press together tightly, hiding the knot. Trim the ends of the stretch cord, then set your bracelet aside to dry before you wear.

To add charms, open the jump ring, slide between beads on the desired bracelet and then close the jump ring.
TIP: To open and close a jump ring, simply grasp the jump ring on both sides with chain nose pliers and twist the ring open, from side-to-side. Never pull the jump ring which can cause distortion.
