Step 1: Preparing the beads
First, take the Perlon thread, a durable and transparent material that is ideal for jewelry projects. Thread the desired beads and butterflies in your favorite color combination over the Perlon thread. Make sure to choose a harmonious color sequence.
Step 2: Attach the clasp
Now the crimp beads come into play. These small metal tubes help you to attach the clasp securely. Attach a crimp bead to each end of the nylon thread. Then attach the lobster clasp to one end and the ringlet to the other. The lobster clasp ensures that your bracelet is easy to put on and take off.
Step 3: Fix bracelet
Thread the thread back through the crimp beads again. Adjust the length of the bracelet so that it fits comfortably around your wrist. Press the crimp beads together with flat pliers to secure the beads. Make sure that the thread is well tensioned and the crimp beads are tight so that your bracelet remains stable.
Step 4: Design creative packaging
Now it's time to get creative! Cut a piece of sturdy cardboard to serve as a display for your bracelet . Stamp the cardboard with a pattern or lettering that complements your design. Use stamping inks that match your bead design. Round off the corners of the cardboard to create a harmonious overall look.
Step 5: Present bracelet
Cut small slits in the cardboard to present the bracelets attractively. Thread the bracelet through the slits so that it not only only sits securely but is also clearly visible. A display like this makes your bracelet a real eye-catcher when you give it away.
