Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make Your Own Stylish DIY Wristlet

Step 1: Attach the String to the Clasp

Cut your nylon cord to your desired length. Fold the cord in half and tie a secure knot around the keychain clasp.

Be sure to allow extra length for knots and attaching to the clasp

Step 2: Prepare Your Beads

Choose your silicone beads and focal bead(s). Place them on your bead loop turner in the order you want them to appear on your wristlet.

Step 3: Add the Focal Beads

Thread both strands of cord through your focal beads at the same time.

Step 4: Add Silicone Beads to Each Side

Separate the two strands.

Place silicone beads onto your bead loop turner and thread them onto one strand.
Repeat the same process on the other strand so both sides are even.

Step 5: Measure for Fit

Wrap the strand around your wrist to check the size. Make sure to leave extra space for tying knots and attaching the ends together.

Step 6: Tie to Form the Wristlet

Once your beads are in place, tie the two ends of the cord together securely. Double knot tightly and trim any excess cord if needed.
