Instructions

Step 1

Gather your Supplies

For this DIY you will need easy access to all of your beads, therefore it’s easiest to put each set into magic sorting trays.

Before we start adding any beads, measure out how long your bracelet needs to be then add some extra length for tying off the bracelet at the end. It’s always better to have too much thread rather than too little.

Step 2

Starting your bracelet

This design is very simple. All you need to do is thread a Labrador Fully Coated bead onto your thread, then a Labrador Half Coated bead, and keep this pattern going until you reach halfway.

Step 3

Adding your charm

Once you have beaded around half of your bracelet, thread on your hedgehog charm.

Now continue threading your beads in the pattern listed above (Labrador Fully Coated-Labrador Half Coated) until you have reached your desired length.

Step 4

Finishing touches

To finish off your bracelet, tie the ends with a double knot, then trim your excess thread.
