How to Make a Twisted Mosaic Bracelet

Tweezers can be a helpful tool for handling small beads when making jewelry.

Mosaic bracelets are both visually attractive and easy to make. You can purchase mosaic beads at many craft and bead stores or, if you are feeling especially creative, make your own mosaic beads. By adding the extra strand to create a twisted mosaic bracelet, you increase the visual complexity of the bracelet. Twisted mosaic bracelets appear much more intricate and complicated to make than they actually are, making them a great gift to impress family and friends.

Things You'll Need

• Mosaic beads
• Scissors
• Thread
• Needle
• Clasp

Instructions

1. Cut two strands of thread, long enough to wrap around your wrist, plus a couple of extra inches for tying knots. Tie the two strands of thread together at one end, leaving about an inch of extra thread. Tie the extra thread around one end of a clasp.

2. Thread one of the strands onto a needle. Begin threading mosaic beads onto the strand. Continue threading beads until the bracelet is long enough to fit around your wrist. Tie a knot in the end to hold the beads in place. Repeat this step on the other strand of thread.

3. Twist the two strands of beads then tie them in a knot around the other half of the clasp.
