Supplies
Beads [color #1]---There's not a certain amount of beads that you need, but I do recommend using a lot. I'll be using black for this one, but you can use any color you'd like!
Beads [color #2]---Once again, you don't need a certain amount, but you should have a lot on hand. I'll be using white for this one, but you can use any color you'd like! [that's not the same as the first]
The string for it--The string is one of the most important parts, which holds the beads altogether. [y'all should know what size the string should be-] [make sure it's long!]
--I'll only be doing two colors, but it's literally just like layering--
--!I won't be showing it, but I will be showing it like on a Google Slide, since, like my bsf, I can't show the steps irl!--
Get Your String, and Start Adding the First Beads [color #1]
Get out the string, and fold it. Add one bead to each side, like in the picture, but keep the loop-like thing on the end. Only use the first color. [we're gonna do a color1/color2/color1/color2 like thing]
Add Another Bead [color #2]
Add another bead [color #2] but in BOTH ends of the string. Use the picture for referance. Repeat the original process [step 1+2] for however many times you want, for however long you want the cuff to be. I will be doing only six for this, but just repeat the same process throughout the whole thing. [iykyk-]
Repeat
After you've repeated that process, you should see [kinda-] exactly what the picture shows. [once again, I'll be doing only six layers for this]
Start Adding More Beads
[!The string should be longer than what's shown!]
Add more beads [color #2] to the side, pushing the string through and make sure the second color is in front of the other beads that are the same color!!
How It Should Look So Far
This is how it should look!
Adding More Beads 2.0 [color #1]
Now start adding more beads [color #1] just like how you did with the other ones [color #2] on step 4!
Again, make sure it's on the same color!
This Is How It Should Look 2.0
This is how it should look!
Make sure it's tight!!!
Repeat
Now repeat that process! Make sure you go from color #2 beads to color #1 beads!! then it should look like the following!
Tying It All Together
Now, move to the top. Go to the extra part of the string from the beginning.
Tying It All Together 2.0
Tie the two ends together! [from beginning+the other end] Make sure you tie it well! I usually tie it about 3 times, but it's only because of my anxiety that it's gonna break- anywho, you can tie it as many times as you want, but you must tie it at least twice!!
End
Now look at your masterpiece.. beautiful, huh? 😏 [lol]
Anywho.. You're welcome! Hope this helped!! [comment here if I need to change anything, or just showing how it looks!!]
