Wood Bead Pipecleaner Bracelets

After our Bendy Dolls project a couple of weeks ago we had some supplies leftover in our craft closet. So for a fun and easy project Liv and I decided to make some jewelry to wear. Bennett even helped with the fun.

Materials

Pipecleaners
Wood Beads

Directions

1. Take one pipecleaner and bend the end to create a stopper for the beads. Make sure you bend enough to connect the ends of your bracelet once you are done stringing.

 

 2. String away! I took the opportunity to help Liv with her pattern making skills. Bennett just liked using the big beads (at least the ones Liv allowed him to use). 

 

 3. Once you have enough beads on the pipecleaner to make your bracelet, unfold your stopper end and twist the ends together. I slid the beads over the pipecleaners for extra reinforcement and to protect fingers from the sharp ends of the pipecleaners.

 

 



Both Liv and were excited with the end result. Not bad for a bracelet on the fly!

(I love the pattern Liv and I made together!)

 

We still have some beads left over for another project I will share soon!
