Black Bandit Bracelet Tutorial

Created by: Cindy Morris

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!
