Easy Bead Bracelet Tutorial

What You Need

  • Large colorful beads
  • Elastic cord
  • Small scissors
  • Bead tray or bowl

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Pour the beads into a tray or small bowl so children can easily see all the colors.
  2. Cut a piece of elastic cord long enough to fit around the child’s wrist with extra room for tying knots.
  3. Let kids choose their favorite bead colors and create a pattern.
  4. Carefully thread the beads onto the elastic cord one at a time.
  5. Encourage children to count the beads or repeat color patterns while threading.
  6. Once the bracelet is full, tie a double knot tightly.
  7. Trim the extra cord and test the bracelet to make sure it fits comfortably.
