Purple Beaded Wrap Bracelet

Forgot to post the purple beaded wrap bracelet I made over the summer.   I used gray metallic leather cording and purple beads.

Been a while since I made some kind of jewelry. Think I need to get cracka-a-lackin!! Though I did make a pearl wrap bracelet during the summer as well...just gotta post that one too;)

Thanks for looking!

I Am Hooked!!

I was going for a neutral color looking bracelet. It still worked out but I should have picked a tiger's eye kind of bead. I am having so much fun making the bracelets. My next one will have five rows!! Just like the real thing!

My Chan Luu Inspired Beaded Wrap Bracelet

Here is a picture of a real Chan Luu beaded wrap bracelet which can cost a bunch of money.
Here is my version of the Chan Luu beaded wrap bracelet.

Here is the video from Youtube where I learned how to do it.

Just a couple of tips. Get the needle for beading. They are the ones with the big eye. My needles were to big or the eye was too small and I couldn't thread it. It also kept breaking the threader I had. You can glue the ends to make them stiff, but just get the actual beading needle.
Also, don't buy a beading board. I just used the top of a Fedex box and used two clamps on each side. When it got longer, I didn't want to use the clip on the bead part so I used a rubber band to keep it stabilized.
ps. Watch out for the super glue;)
