    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather your stretchy string and select your beads from the kit.
    Measure and Cut the String: Measure the wrist size and cut the stretchy string approximately one and a half times longer than the wrist measurement.
    Secure the String: Attach a bead stopper to one end of the string to prevent beads from falling off.
    String Your Beads: Create a pattern or choose beads at random to string onto the stretchy string.
    Tying the Knot: Once all beads are strung, remove the bead stopper and tie a square knot by alternating the strings in your hands and pulling tightly.
    Hide the Knot: If possible, thread one end of the string through a bead with a larger hole to hide the knot.
    Finish Your Bracelet: Trim the excess string and your stretch bracelet is ready to wear!

    I had trouble with your website, ordering was very nerve racking. I have made previous orders before without much trouble. I reached out to customer service and Val was very helpful. But by the time I was able to get back to my order several items were out of stock. That was disheartening since I’m trying to do a bracelet for my sister’s 70th birthday. I just hope the beads I ended up with look as nice as your demo does. Very sad and disappointing this time.
