Celebration Beaded Bangles Pattern

Description

These blingy beaded bangles have a wonderfully solid finish and are addictive to make – using just a few materials from your stash.

The use of an elastic core, combined with the natural stretch from using monofilament in Right Angle Weave, makes these bangles easy to slide on and off your wrist. 

I recommend using monofilament thread rather than Fireline or regular thread for the bangle, as it helps give the finished bangles stretch. Monofilament can be fiddly if you are not used to working with it, particularly the finishing off when the beads are getting quite full of thread, but it is worth persevering as it gives an excellent sturdy finish. I find Toho beads are best for this project due to their hole size.

If you’re not a fan of bangles, then fear not, as this pattern includes an easy adaptation for a bracelet with a clasp. Previously published in the Beadworkers Guild Journal.
