Easy DIY Wrap Bracelet

This is a DIY wrap bracelet. Yes, it is crochet. Don't panic! There are only two stitches in this and there is a video you can watch to show you the step by step process. If you don't know how to crochet you can go there and follow along! If you know how to crochet the following post is the pattern!



Here they are both wrapped and unwrapped.


It wraps around my 7.5'' wrist four times loose or five snug.


Supplies
Scissors
5mm beads with large holes (any color)
Worsted Weight Yarn (any color)
Tapestry Needle (18)
Button (inch)


Step One: Thread 36 beads (or more if you want it longer. It is about an inch for each bead. So, if you add one extra bead it will be an inch longer.)

Step Two: Chain 6
Step Three: Join with a slip stitch to form a ring like below. Chain one.


 Step Four: Work 12 single crochet into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet.


Step Five: Chain 6. Slide a bead down the yarn until it is snug against your work then secure it with a chain stitch.
Step Six: Chain 3.
Step Seven: Slide a bead down the yarn until it is snug against your work then secure it with a chain stitch.
Step Eight-Thirty Three: Repeat Steps Six and Seven until you are out of beads.


Step Thirty-Four: Cut your yarn (leave a LONG tail when you cut because you are going to sew your button on with this tail) and pull it through your loop creating a knot.

Step Thirty-Five: Thread your needle and sew your button onto the end making sure to wrap some extra yarn around the base of your button to make it more secure. 

Step Thirty-Six: Sew in both tails!

VIOLA! Wear and enjoy your new wrap bracelet.
