Wish Bracelet

Wish Bracelet

This free jewelry making project shows you how to make a wish bracelet using hemp. You can also make this bracelet using seed beads the colors of chakra for a more spiritual bracelet.

What you need

Hemp
Seed Beads

Instructions

Take three pieces of hemp long enough too fit around you wrist and tie around 10 inches.

Braid about half of your wrist length. Then, while braiding, put beads on every other string you pick up.

Once the beads are on, braid the rest of the way down and tie a knot. Before tying the bracelet on your wrist, make a wish!

Then TIE the bracelet on your wrist. NEVER take it off. When it falls off on its own, your wish will come true!

    Beautiful love it

    i used three diff colors (red, blue, & green) of waxed hemp cord. and 5 medium sized jade beads.. 3 light green and 2 purplish .. i spaced them out enough that it looks absolutley fab!! thank you!

  3. i like projects for all kinds

  4. Where do you find hemp at

  5. What do the colors represent on the “Wish Bracelet?” Dorretha

  6. How many beads do you need on the bracelet?

  7. When you are braiding (practice on yarn or other item), cross over one piece, then pick up the next yarn and add bead, then braid it. Braid next strand, pick up next strand and add bead, then braid it. Do this until you have what you want for beads, then just braid the yarn. Hope this helped.

  8. True

  9. can you explain more on the part where you start adding the beads? in very confused and my first bracelet looks weird

  54. This is really cute! instead of using hemp you can use embroidery floss but the hemp stays longer and the embroidery floss is more likely to break.

  65. Hi all.

    This is driving me nuts!! No matter what I do, I just can’t seem to make this work. Everyone else says this is easy so I am going even more nuts. Can someone give me any tips or, even, send me a couple of photos of the process (I will give my email if you can)?

    I really want to make these as they look great and my daughter is desperate for a bracelet for Christmas.

    Rytz

  114. this is great but i would make the idea that instead of it being until it falls of i would be each bead has a wish inside so it is very exciting and you can get your child or granddaughter to tell you the wishes!

  174. what is hemp and seed beads?

  175. this is a amasing web site love it

  176. i like it a lot…. could you use others kinds of thread instead of hemp… i’m finding it hard to get hold of some

  177. question…what kind of knot are you supposed to tie for it to stay on but loose enough for it to fall off on it’s own?

  178. i think its a good project to do if you have the stuff at home
