Putting Beads on the Jewelry Cord

2) Start putting beads onto the jewelry cord

You start at the F and work your way backwards, so F F B instead of BFF!

3) Make sure the beads don't fall off the jewelry cord

You check this won't happen by making sure the beads stay on when you lift the jewelry cord up!

4) Continue putting beads onto the jewelry cord until you finish the B F F

5) Now, begin putting the clear pink beads onto the rest of the cord so you can make an actual bracelet

You may need 20 or more clear beads for this step, the amount you need will change depending on how big your

bracelet is!
