You Will Need (3 things)
- Seed Beads
- Jewlery Pliers
- Staples
Steps (6 steps, 40 minutes)
-
1
to start with gather all the things you need making sure you have a lot of staple becasue they are easily lost and can snap.
-
2
get the first staple and straighten it out so you can fit a bead on. use the pliers to curl on end into a loop like in the picture (if the image its not to rubbish) make sure you leave the bead out of the loop.
-
3
finish the first loop by getting the other end and curling it towards the bead making sure the bead isnt in side the loop (again) like in the image.
-
4
repeat step to but dont close the second loop, put the loop from your first bead thing (sorry dont know what to call it) with the bead and close it in the loop this time to connect them.
-
5
repeat this until you have your destired length and then make a clasp by curling a single staple to the end of the bracelet like you would before but with out a bead. curl the other end like a hook so you can connect the bracelet.

then you should have a staple bracelet! the clasp may break when you use it repeatidly so you may have to make a couple of them. but i hope you like it and that the howto, wasnt that difficult to understand!
