How To Make A Polished Gemstone Bracelet

Running With Sisters
We love the look of a Polished Gemstone Stretch Bracelet. We sometimes sport a single one or stack a few up. We'll show you how to thread the beads onto the clear elastic two times for added strength and security. We'll show you how to tie a special knot, how to secure the knot with jeweler's glue, and hide the knot as a finishing touch. These bracelets are so popular, we've made them into kits.

How To Make The Polished Gemstone Stretch Bracelet
Tools & Materials
18 White Howlite gemstone beads, 10mm
4 Crystal spacers, 6mm
1 Tree of Life charm, 15mm (with jump ring)
20" Elastic beading cord
Scissors
Masking tape
Tape measure
Clear nail polish or jeweler's glue
Steps
1. Start by folding a small piece of masking tape over the end of the elastic beading cord. Then slide six gemstone beads onto other end of elastic.
2. Next slide a crystal spacer, a bead, a crystal spacer, and a bead onto the elastic.
3. Slide the Tree of Life charm onto the elastic. Then slide a bead, a crystal spacer, a bead, and a crystal spacer onto the elastic, mirroring the pattern on the other side of charm.
4. Slide the remaining beads onto the elastic. Try on the bracelet and add or remove beads to adjust the size.
5. Circle the beaded strand around to form a bracelet shape. Then feed the elastic through the beads a second time. Be sure to keep a 2" tail unbeaded at the masking tape end to use for the knot later.
6. After you have gone through all the beads with the elastic a second time, remove the masking tape. Gently pull the elastic ends to tighten the bracelet and remove any gaps between the beads. Tie the two ends of the elastic together.
7. Make the knot more secure by tying the ends together again. But this time wrap one end around and through a second time. Gently pull the ends tight.
8. Finally, tie the ends together one more time, as in step 6. Gently pull the ends tight to finish the knot.
9. Trim the ends to ¼". Then add a dab of clear nail polish or jeweler's glue to the knot. Slide the adjacent bead over the knot to hide it. Let the glue dry before wearing the bracelet.
To wear the Polished Gemstone Stretch Bracelet, roll it, rather than stretching it, onto your wrist'

@linellwilliamsadams4276 Год назад

Enjoyed this video, never see any with running back the cord through the beads neither using nailpolish. I normally double my cord and use glue.

@TheONeilSisters Год назад

Doubling the cord is good! We go through two times around so if the cord breaks there's a chance the beads will stay on the second loop of cord. A little insurance you could say. Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty

@ericasherlock7597 Год назад

Your videos are great and have inspired me to make my own bracelet. I have .80 mm stretch cord and it will not pass through my beads 2 times. Do you think it will be strong enough or should I go get the thinner cord?

@TheONeilSisters Год назад

Hi Erica, You can make the bracelet going through the beads just once. We do it twice for added strength and security if the elastic breaks. Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty

@smendoza2034 3 года назад

I just started making jewelry and your videos are very helpful. Thank you so much! But a question for you - how do you know how much cord to cut in order to go through the beads a second time.

@TheONeilSisters 3 года назад

We used a 20 inch piece of elastic beading cord to make this bracelet. If you want to make yours larger just add a few inches. Here's the how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/gemstone-stretch-bracelet-video-and-kit/ Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

Thank you for this instruction. Could you please let us know what size beading thread you use? I tried this, but apparently bought the wrong size thread. Thank you!

@TheONeilSisters 9 месяцев назад

We used .5mm elastic stretch cord. We run it through the beads two times, so be sure your beads have a 1mm hole. Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

@lillbits 3 года назад

Could you not have double threaded elastic on a needle for example at the start so once through gives the double thread??

@TheONeilSisters 3 года назад

Great question! The reason we go through twice is so you have a little safety feature if the elastic breaks. The beads have a better chance of staying on. Does that make sense?

@melosaurrn 2 года назад

I love these tutorials! For 4mm or 6mm beads, what size elastic cord would you recommend?

@TheONeilSisters 2 года назад

Great question. The main thing you need to consider is the size of the hole in the beads. Our beads are 10mm and have a 1mm hole so we used .5mm elastic beading cord so the cord will fit through the bead twice. When you buy beads online, sometimes they tell you the hole size like they do here on Fire Mountain Gems: www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h203606gs If you don't know the size of the hole, try using .5mm and see if it fits through the beads two times.

@chickadddee Год назад

I have some questions! Is the elastic cord you used here the same as stretch cord? What size hole is in these beads? What size is the elastic cord? How often do you re string your bracelets like this, or how do you know it's time to re string so you don't lose beads if it breaks or wears out? Thanks for making the video, hope you can answer my questions! 🤞🏼

@TheONeilSisters Год назад

Hi Dee, Yes this is elastic or stretch beading cord. The holes in our beads are 1mm and the cord is .5mm and we run it through the beads twice. We haven't had to restring them. Going through two times makes them stronger. Here's the how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/gemstone-stretch-bracelet-video-and-kit/ Cheers, Jennifer & Kitty

@moonlightshine1921 3 года назад

I have no clear nail polish or jewellery glue would any other glue etc PVA or mod podge do the same ? Much love from the UK X

@TheONeilSisters 2 года назад

Great question! Maybe you could try a thin clear glue that is not water soluble like Super Glue (cyanoacrylate), although we haven't tested it to see if it works with the elastic beading cord. If you do try Super Glue, be very careful! It's awful to get it on your fingers! Alternatively you could try E6000, 100% clear silicone adhesive, or Liquid Nails and apply it with a toothpick. Good luck! Jennifer & Kitty

@alesiastevenson5050 Год назад

I went to look at beading cord and there are so many sizes... What size do you recommend?

@TheONeilSisters Год назад

Hi Alesia, We used .5mm elastic cord. Our beads have a 1mm hole and we run the cord through each bead two times. Here's the how-to on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/gemstone-stretch-bracelet-video-and-kit/ Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

@michaelminutti3227 2 года назад

What size beading cord do you recommend for 12-16mm beads?

@TheONeilSisters 2 года назад

The beading cord size depends on the hole in the bead. We like to run the elastic beading cord through the beads two times. Our beads have a 1mm hole and our beading elastic is .5mm so it can go through twice. Here's the how-to with materials list on our blog: runningwithsisters.com/gemstone-stretch-bracelet-video-and-kit/ Hope that helps, Jennifer & Kitty

Is there a reason why you just don't use stretch string that is 1mm in diameter instead of a double-pass with the o.5mm string?

@margothines2004 2 года назад

You said to string 6 beads at the beginning,,, dont you mean 7?

@TheONeilSisters 2 года назад

Hi Margot, We started by feeding on six beads. Then we added the section with spacers and the charm. Then we fed on the rest of the beads. We did it this way so the knot would be buried in the beaded section and not next to a spacer bead.
