\u00a0This tutorial was written by my thirteen-year-old daughter Kelsey.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n

This bracelet, inspired by the tutorial on honestlywtf.com<\/a>, is super cute and pretty easy to make.\u00a0 I saw this fun project online and decided to create my own version of it.\u00a0 As you may have guessed based on the name, this bracelet is simply a beaded braid.\u00a0 Each time you cross your string to the middle, you just slip a bead onto your cord.\u00a0 Cool, right? <\/span><\/p>\n

I struggled just a little with fitting the cord through the beads.\u00a0 While the original tutorial used a waxed string, I used embroidery floss.\u00a0 Depending on the cord you use, you may find it to your advantage to use a needle or beeswax.\u00a0 I found it helpful to keep the ends moist.\u00a0 Another hard part in making this bracelet is making sure you keep the tension just right.\u00a0 It can’t be too loose or too tight.\u00a0 Again, this varies depending on the material used. <\/span><\/p>\n

Honestlywtf went for a bright,<\/span> fun look with pretty color<\/span>ed cord and metallic beads. I switched it up a bit and used a brown string with aqua beads because I was going for a boho look. While boho happens to currently be my favorite look, you can change the beads and cord to create whatever look you want. For example, you can go elegant with pearly beads and soft colored cord, punk with black thread and neon beads, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy beading!<\/span><\/p>\n
