How to Make Personalised Friendship Bracelets with Beads
These 90's style bracelets seem to always be in fashion and are so quick and simple to make. They appeal to all ages and there are so many different alphabet beads you can choose from, the assorted pack used here is great for younger makers as the hole is fairly big so you can simply hand thread them onto stretchy elastic. Once you have a set of alphabet beads you can use this method to make necklaces, keychains and all manner of personalised accessories.

How to Make
Cut enough elastic to go around your wrist and a little bit extra bearing in mind you will be knotting it a few times - I measured 16cm for mine here. Tie a knot at one end of the elastic, this will be where your bracelet starts.
Spell out the name you want in the middle of the bracelet in beads and lay it out on your work surface so that you can see how it looks, then place other beads either side to make your arrangement.
Thread the beads onto the elastic in order and then tie a knot once you've finished to keep it in place.
Tie the ends together to finish.
