I had my eyes on the wrap bracelets for quite some time. There are many types and kinds available in online stores. I’ve decided that I won’t buy it but will make my own (which will be not just cheaper, but I will make it exactly the way I want). So few weeks back I went to Michaels and bought few strings of beads, cotton cord, bead thread and some buttons. All beads were just 45% off that week and the pinkish ones were even marked for clearance (for less then $2), so it was a steal. And I could also use a coupon for the thread and cotton cord ( double win!).
It took me several weeks to actually get to the project. Yesterday was the day. I googled several tutorials and at the end went with this one. And to be honest, I don’t think I followed it precisely, I just went with my instinct while wrapping the bead weaving thread around my cords. The rest was just a matter of patience.
I’m really happy with the final result.
This one was the first “testing” one. I plan to make a multiple wrap, not just a single one and try different media.
I bought a leather light beige cord last week which will go perfectly with the pinkish beads.The only thing I need to get is a light (natural/beige) bead weaving thread which they didn’t have at Michaels. It seems a little bit of searching has to be done.
Both kids already asked me to make bracelets for them as well which makes me excited to experiment even more!

Gabi it is gorgeous, awesome job!! We are in the process of moving. After 9 years in this house the landlords son has asked us to leave. But when we get moved and I get my craft stuff set back up I might also try this!! Thank you for sharing!
