How to make a Bugle Bracelet with Miyuki Seed Beads
This bracelet is perfect for beginners and our wide range of bugle beads allows you to make your own fun color combination!
Start by cutting approx. 30cm of c-lon thread. Thread this through a short needle and then thread a bugle bead. Now thread a bugle bead of the other color and then go back through the first bugle bead as you started. When you pull this tight, the 2 beads will be side by side. Now go through the second bugle bead again so you end up at the bottom and thread a new bead. Now go through the second bead again and again through the third bead. Repeat these steps until your bracelet is long enough. Tie a knot in both ends and cut a new piece of c-lon thread of about 30cm.
Pass the needle and the c-lon thread through the first bugle bead. Now thread a miyuki seed bead and go under the 'bridge' created between the 2 bugle beads (this is the c-lon thread found at the top and bottom of the bugle beads, the piece goes from one bead to the other). Then go back through the miyuki rocaille, do this through the top of the bead so that the bead comes out flat on the bugle bead. Now thread another miyuki seed bead and repeat this step until you get to the last bugle bead. Once you have attached the last seed bead, you can go through the last bugle bead and attach the miyuki seed beads to this side of the bracelet. Once you get to your starting point, all you have to do is tie both ends together (you can use some jewelry glue for this if you want).
Now take two 10mm stainless steel end caps and slide them over the last bugle bead on both ends. You can also use some jewelry glue for this.Pinch the caps shut and attach a lobster clasp to one end and an extension chain to the other, use a 4mm jumpring for this.
Now your bracelet is ready!
