Learn how to make a cherry bracelet with this quick and easy tutorial.

Cutting the nylon
Measure your wrist with the nylon, add a few inches to that measurement for allowance, and cut the nylon to that length.
Add lobster clasp
Insert the nylon onto crimp and lobster clasp. Insert the end of the nylon into the crimp again. Squeeze the crimp with a clasp, making sure that the nylons are parallel to each other. Cut off any excess.
Taping the bracelet
Tape the lobster clasp of the bracelet onto a flat surface.
Add white beads
Add 8 white seed beads.
Add green and red beads
Add one green bead and two red beads. Insert the end of the nylon back through the green bead.
Making the cherry
Pull the nylon until the beads form a cherry. Move it upwards, right below the white beads.

Repeat steps 4 to 6 until it’s long enough to wrap around your wrist.
Add the jump ring
Insert the crimp, followed by the jump ring. Hold the jump ring and insert the nylon onto crimp. Squeeze the crimp, making sure the nylons are paralle, then cut off the excess.

Creative Ideas and Variations

Change the color of the beads. Instead of using white beads, feel free to use pink, yellow, light violet, or any other color you prefer.
Add an extension chain. To make your bracelet adjustable, add an axtension chain.
Use different beads. You can add a variety by using different beads like butterfly beads for an extra design element.
Experiment with bead numbers. Instead of using 8 beads, try using more or fewer beads.
No clasp or jump ring? No problem! You can simply tie a knot in the nylon and use nail polish or E6000 to keep the knot from coming undone. Since the nylon is stretchable, you won’t have any problem fitting the bracelet over your hand.
