• Any kind of yarn,(I used chenille)ribbon or crochet ribbon.
• size H crochet hook
• scissors

1. 
    
   Basic chain stitch.

   Start a basic crochet chain stitch. Make sure to leave a 6 inch tail. Make sure your stitches are loose but not to loose. Keep in mind that depending on how thick you want your bracelet you should be able to wrap the chain around your wrist and divide by 2.Is you want a 3 row thickness you should be able to wrap chain around your wrist 6 times. This can vary depending on what kind of yarn you use. I used a thick chenille.

2. 
    
   Working the next row of stiches

   After you obtain the length of your chain, start your next row by picking up the second loop on the next row and working your way down picking up the next loop and repeating till you get the end of row. Keep in mind your rows don't have to be perfect. This is no mess up crochet. Make sure to keep your stitches loose and not too tight.

3. 
    
   Chain stitch loop

   Once you get the length and thickness you want make sure your last row matches up the the 6 inch tail you left in the beginning.At the end of the row make a basic chain stitch to make the loop at the end.

4. 
    
   Loop ties. Make sure the trim tail.

   Hook your loop to tail end of bracelet. Make sure not to make it too long there is give once the bracelet is worn. Tie a tight double knot. Trim tail

5. 
    
   Button

   Thread the beading needle. Leave a 24 inch tail. You want a continuous tail from button and breads to the end. Sew on button and tie knots. Make sure that button and loop meet and fit your wrist. Do not trim thread.

6. 
    

   Start randomly sewing on breads in row. You can add as many or as little as you want. Make sure not to pull thread too tight. Keep adding beads until the end of bracelet and tie a tight knot at the end and trim thread.
