Steps to make a glass bead bracelet:

1.    Wrist size:

The user has to measure the wrist size and cut the wire or the string a little bigger than that. As the beads are of cheaper range I prefer elastic of string. Metal wires are not preferred in this case.

2.    Putting beads on the wire:

Now put a clasp on one end of the wire and hold the wire from the second end. Now put beads into the wire and fill it to the length desired. You can put different varieties of cheap beads to give it new look.

3.    Length of bracelet:

The beads should be on the wire for the complete length. There should not be any gap between the beads. But it should not be very much tight.

4.    Tie the wire:

You can give it a square knot like the knot we give to our shoes. Then try to put the knot under a bead hole.

These were the steps that were used to make a bracelet on your own.
