HOW TO
CREATE NAME BRACELETS & NECKLACES |
You may not realize how simple
it is to create name bracelets and name necklaces for adults,
babies and children, but our instructions below will tell you
everything you need to know including the supplies you need,
instructions and a video demonstration. If you have any questions,
please call us at 407. 895. 0062.
| SUPPLIES
YOU WILL NEED - We have it all, see pictures below |
 |
Flex
Rite Beading Wire
(shown on left) - this is a flexible beading wire made
from stainless steel specifically for beading and jewelry
making. This type of stringing material cannot be knotted,
so you will also need crimp beads. Flex rite is available
in 30ft spools, and the medium weight is most recommended.
Each bracelet will use about 11 to 12" depending
on the size of the bracelet.
Crimp
Beads (shown below)- two per strand for bracelets
or necklaces (one for each end), it's a good idea to have
extra crimp beads in case you make a mistake or lose one
Bead
Stoppers (shown below) - two per strand (one
for each end) - attach to the one end of cording to keep
beads from falling off while stringing |
Crimp
Tool (shown above) - this is a tool especially
made for squeezing crimp beads attach a clasp and secure
and finish the bracelet. Follow this link for Instructions
on How to Use a Crimp Tool & Crimp Beads,
or you can also watch Joyce, Bead Bee owner, demonstrate
on video.
Flush
Cutter - use this to trim the stringing material
after you have completed the bracelet
Sterling
Silver Alphabet Beads
(shown below) - the most
popular type of alphabet beads used for name bracelets
are made of sterling silver. However, if you have other
ideas, alphabet beads are also available in plastic
and pewter..
Spacer Beads -
these beads add detail to any jewelry project but also
serve to space like bead apart. Our examples show sterling
silver seamless round beads
in between each sterling silver alphabet bead. Other sterling
silver spacer beads like daisy spacers or rombo beads
can also be used to add more innovation to your design.
This keeps the letters nicely spaced, also, since sterling
silver alphabet beads have larger holes, a spacer bead
will be required.
Crystal Beads or
Glass Beads - most name bracelets feature Swarovski
crystals that represent birthstone colors or the favorite
color of the person wearing it, but you can use any type
of bead you like.
Please note that Swarovski beads do contain lead and are
not recommended for use on jewelry made for children 12
or under.
Sterling Silver Number Beads - beads
with numbers on them can also be used to represent a special
date or year. Click here to learn more about sterling
silver number beads |
