Designer Tips

  • Use your favorite 8mm beads and adjust the number of beads for a perfect fit. The finished length of this bracelet is 8.5".
  • Crimp or knot the Beadalon ends (it doesn't matter what color crimps you use, because they are hidden inside the Bead Bandit). For step-by-step instructions, see how the bracelet is made on our blog post: The Bead Bandit: Make Masculine Beaded Men’s Jewelry!
