Pearl and Chains


Fabric Bracelet
By Bev from Flamingo Toes

This Pearl and Chains Fabric Bracelet is a


pretty twist on a typical pearl bracelet. Plus,
this DIY bracelet is an Anthropologie knockoff

Materials
Small amount of fabric (chiffon will be thinner and linen will be thicker)
Approximately 56, 5mm pearls
Small chain, at least 88”
Needle
Matching thread

Instructions
1. Begin cutting out the fabric for the bracelet.
You’ll need one long 2.5” X 15” piece and 2
smaller 2” X 5” pieces.

2. Find the centers of the long piece and one of the


shorter pieces. Line them up with the shorter piece
on the back of the longer piece. Tuck the ends
under the pin them. This will stabilize the area that
you sew the pearls to.

3. On the front of this section, draw out with a disap-


pearing ink marker the lines that you are going to
sew your pearls on. Stay 1/2” away from the edge,
this will be part of the hem for later in the project.

Instructions continued on next page


Beautiful Pearl DIY Bracelets 16

Instructions (cont.)

4. Begin sewing down your strands of pearls. Add the pearls for each row to your
thread and sew them down.

5. Sew down the strand between each pearl


also. This will help the strand to lay flat.

6. Continue to fill up the center section with


rows of pearls.
7. Working on the back side of the bracelet,
turn the raw edges over in 2 tiny folds and
hand sew them down to create your hem.

8. Continue working your way around the


bracelet until both slides are hemmed.
9. Now, we’re going to work on the chain. Cut
the short pieces for the sides next. You’ll
need 24, 2” pieces.
10. Lay out a longer piece of chain (at least 20”)
to begin sewing down on the long side of the
bracelet. Start sewing the chain to the
bracelet 2” from the end of the chain.

Note: As you sew this long piece down, you’re going to ad in the shorter pieces of chain
that you already cut. There are six short pieces of chain on each end of the bracelet on
both sides.

Instructions continued on next page


Beautiful Pearl DIY Bracelets 17

Instructions (cont.)

11.Evenly space out these shorter pieces and sew


them on as you go, working your way down the
side of the bracelet.
Note: Be sure to sew these smaller pieces on very
well because they will have the most stress placed
on them once you tie the bracelet.

12. When you get to the other end of the bracelt ,


but the chains so there is a 2” piece that extends
past the end of the fabric.

13. Repeat steps 10-12 to the other side of the


bracelet. When you finish that you should end up
with something that looks like this.
14.When you want to wear this bracelet all you
have to do is tie the ends loosely and you’re
good to go!

Grace Kelly Woven


Bracelet
By Julie Bean from Beadaholique
Nothing says classy pearl bracelet like this
stunning Grace Kelly Woven Bracelet. This DIY
bracelet will make you feel like you are part of
the royal family ever time you put it on! You will
fall in love with this bracelet pattern’s design.

Materials
Swarovski Crystal, 5810 Round Faux Pearl Czech Seed Beads 11/0 Light Gold
Beads 8mm, 25 pieces, White (1 pckg) Supra Metallic (1 Hank) (1 pckg)
Swarovski Crystal, 5810 Round Faux Pearl Czech Seed Beads Size 11/0 Antiqued
Beads 3mm, 50 pieces, White (1 pckg) Cream Pearl (1 Hank/4000 Beads) (I
pckg)
NYMO Nylon Beading Thread Size D for Delica
Beads Ivory 65YD (1 pckg) 1 Ounce Bar Beeswax Thread
Strengthening Conditioner for beads/

Instructions
1. We are going to make the body of the bracelet using the right angle weave
stitch. Start by conditioning a 4-foot length of Nymo nylon beading thread,
and thread your needle onto the thread.

2. String one size 11/0 Czech seed bead in light gold supra metallic, one size
11/0 Czech seed bead in antique cream pearl, one size 11/0 Czech seed
bead in light gold supra metallic, and one size 11/0 Czech seed bead in
antique cream pearl. Create your first unit of four beads with these beads.
Pick up more beads and right angle weave a total of eight units. Some
bead weaving instructions refer to these sections as unit columns. You want
to end with eight units in total before going to your next row.

Instructions continued on next page


Beautiful Pearl DIY Bracelets 19

Instructions (cont.)
3. Right angle weave a total of 60 rows. You will need to tie off and add new
thread multiple times throughout the length of your bracelet. Sixty rows will
equal about 6 1/2" long. After approximately the 55th row, start to hold the
bracelet against your wrist to see how many rows you want to make in total for
a comfortable fit. The clasp is only going to add another 1/4" to the length. You
may need to adjust the row amount. When you are finished, tie off your thread
and incorporate it into your bead weaving.

4. Cut, condition, and thread a needle onto a 4-foot length of Nymo nylon bead-
ing thread. String onto it one Swarovski 8mm round pearl. Around the circum-
ference of the pearl, brick stitch a row of size 11/0 Czech seed beads in light
gold supra metallic. Next, brick stitch a row of 11/0 Czech seed beads in an-
tique cream pearl, and another row of 11/0 Czech seed beads in light gold su-
pra metallic. Tie off your thread and weave it back into your beadwork. Re-
peat this entire step with a second Swarovski 8mm round pearl.

5. Repeat the above step to complete a third unit of brick stitching around a
pearl. When you finish the third row, do not tie off your thread. Using Swarovski
3mm round pearls and size 11/0 Czech seed beads in light gold supra metallic,
create a decorative beaded edge on the unit you just completed with brick
stitching around the 8mm pearl.

6. Look at the photo of the project for placement of these three beaded
"buttons". The one with the decorative edge is in the very middle of the brace-
let. On each end of the bracelet, there is one of the "plainer" buttons. All three
are going to be sewn in place. To do so, cut, condition, and thread a needle
onto a 2-foot length of Nymo thread.

7. Starting with the middle button. Take your needle and go from the back of
your bracelet to the front. At the exact center of your bracelet, pull your
threaded needle through the bracelet center. Pull until you have an 8" tail re-
maining on the backside and the rest of the thread and the needle on the
front side. Now, thread your needle through one of the Czech seed beads in
light gold supra metallic, which is part of the first brick stitched row around the
8mm pearl in the button with the decorative edge.

Instructions continued on next page


Beautiful Pearl DIY Bracelets 20

Instructions (cont.)
8. Pull this button so that it lays tightly against the right angle woven beads of your
bracelet making sure not to pull that 8" tail out of the back. Now, sew through one
of the beads in your bracelet and then back up through another bead in that first
brick stitched row of the button. Try to sew in and out of the beads themselves vs.
the threads connecting them. Also, try to hide your stitching as much as possible.
Make sure to secure the button on opposite sides, not just one section but sections
across from each other. Once you have made several passes through, gently tug
on the button to see how secure it is. When you feel like it is securely sewn onto the
beadwork below it, tie off your thread. Go back and incorporate that 8" tail into
your bead weaving and tie it off.

9. Repeat the above step with your two "plainer" buttons - one on each end of the
bracelet. One of these buttons is going to act as half of our clasp.

10. We have to make the loop that is going to slip around one of the above side but-
tons. To make this beaded loop, begin by cutting, conditioning, and threading a
needle onto 2 feet of Nymo thread.

11. Choose the side of the bracelet where you want to have the loop be connected
to. On this side, weave your needle and thread into the beadwork two rows back
from the edge, leaving a tail of 8". Work your thread in and out of the beads until
you arrive at the outer edge and your needle is exiting the edge bead of the third
unit, going towards the center of the bracelet. String onto it one size 11/0 Czech
seed bead in antique cream pearl and 1 size 11/0 Czech seed bead in light gold
supra metallic. String one Swarovski 3mm round pearl. Next, string one size 11/0
Czech seed bead in light gold supra metallic, one size 11/0 Czech seed bead in
antique cream pearl until you end up with a total of 33 beads after the pearl, al-
ternating between gold and cream. Your last bead should be a gold one.

12. Now, pass your needle through the Swarovski 3mm pearl, and pull tightly to create
a loop. Make sure your thread is tight and that loop is resting on the edge of your
bracelet. String one size 11/0 Czech seed bead in light gold supra metallic and
one size 11/0 Czech seed bead in antique cream pearl. Pass your needle now
through the bead on the edge of your bracelet . Weave your thread in and out of
the beads along the first two rows of your bracelet.

13. Tie off your thread and incorporate the tail into the bead weaving. Go back to
that 8” tail you left when you started the loop and tie off and incorporate it back
into your bead weaving. And you’re all done!

1. Start with the largest size of your pearl beads. Begin adding pearls directly
onto the jewelry wire you are using.
2. While you string the pearls onto your wire, be sure to alternate between your
pearls and your seed beads. Do not cut the wire yet.
3. Continue to adding pearls with the second largest sized pearls. Add
approximately four inches of this size of pearls.
4. Continue adding pearls of the next size down. Add approximately eight
inches off this pearl, and remember to continue alternating between pearls
and seed beads.

5. Finally, add the pearls that are the smallest size. Add approximately nine inches
worth of these sized pearls, and end on a pearl not a seed bead.

6. While it is straightened the bracelet should be about 24 inches long. You can
make the bracelet longer or shorter if you like. Remember you are going to
begin wrapping the bracelet around your hand and it will not stay straight.

7. At the end of your bracelet create a loop with your pliers. Twist the wire to
create a spiral, which will form a “stopper.”

8. At the opposite end of your bracelet, where the largest pearls are, cut the wire
about 1.5 inches away from your starting pearl. Repeat step 7.

9. Add a jump ring and a jewelry clasp to the end of your bracelet where the
biggest pearl is.

10. Wrap the bracelet around your hand, and use the jewelry clasp to hook onto
any point in your bracelet so it stays in place. Continue to play around with it
until it feels comfortable.

before you press your clay into it.
3. Pop your mold into the freezer for about 10 minutes so that it can harden.
