3-Strand Beaded Bracelet

Here's a different morse code bracelet - you didn't think I stopped making these, did ya? Cuz I still love them - love making them, love wearing them, love giving them, and love the secret messages!


I've never made a bracelet using these multi strand connector bar spacer things - the only hard part was getting the three strands the exact same length so they lay evenly between the two ends.

To make this 3-strand bracelet I cut a length of beading string long enough for the bracelet plus a few inches for tying off. Tie the thread to one of the loops on a connector, add a bit of glue and then put a crimp bead over the knot and carefully smash the bead. I cut the thread a couple of times smashing the crimp bead too hard, it pinched the thread right off - so even tho it's an oxymoron you need to gently smash the crimp bead. Add the beads in the order you want and connect to the other connector at the other end of the bracelet. Run the loose tails back thru a few beads to hide it. Repeat with the other 2 strands; attach a clasp to one connector and a jump ring to the other to close.
