Make an Elastic Bead Bracelet

Finish the Elastic and Glue

7) Trim off the excess elastic leaving about 1/4 inch on each end, and then dab some glue on the knot.

8) Now, carefully pull the elastic so that the knot goes inside one of the teardrop beads.

9) Allow the glue to dry (I usually let it sit over night) before wearing your new bracelet.

This finished bracelet will fit most people who wear a 7 to 7 1/2 inch bracelet. Of course, if you want a longer or smaller bracelet, just use more or fewer beads and adjust the length. Normally, the finished length should be about an inch smaller than your wrist - Remember, this stuff stretches.For another excellent elastic bracelet project, take a look at the Elastic and Pearl Grandmother Bracelet project.
