Cut a 10-inch piece of elastic thread. If your bracelet needs to be larger or smaller, adjust the length accordingly. Leave 1/2 inch of thread to allow for the final knot.

String the beads onto the elastic and add letter beads with your initials in the center of the bracelet. If you're going for a classier look, use glass beads and hanging letter charms. When you have strung all the beads, knot the ends of the thread and cut off any excess thread.
