How to Make a Ladder Bracelet Part 1 of 2

[gbobmi1]

I'm having a terrible time finishing this bracelet! The picture isn't very clear at the end, so I can't see how you're doing it. I'm ready to give up! What am I doing wrong? My threads are not staying taut and when I try to tie off the end, the knot is a mess and the last bead is loose.

Hi Patricia,

Nicole is using a continuous leather cord she attaches to the loop on one side and the ends on the other. The cord gets tightened behind the board and keeps the work taut. Because the design board has sides, it's easy to get your threads underneath the cords as you macrame. If you are using a macrame board, you can use binder clips at each end to secure your work and insert match boxes or pill bottles under each end of the board to raise your work up. Hope this helps!

Could you tell me what you are using to hold the cord? I use a macrame board, but I really like that you have a deep place for your fingers to work.

Thanks, Patricia

Hi Nicole,

I made this bracelet right the very first time by following your instruction. I went on and make different longer variation like a wrap bracelet.

I wonder if you can make another tutorial with multiple row based on this ( like 2 or 3) as a ladder cuff bracelet.

I am a beginner beader , so my imagination is kinda limited.

Thanks you in advance

Hi wonton71,

I am sorry for taking so long to get back to you! I have been developing a new wrap bracelet, but making a 2 or 3 row cuff is next on my list. If you go to beadshop.com and sign up for our newsletter, you will know as soon as we get the multiple row cuff project done.

Thank you and happy beading!

Nicole
