Learn how to make your own wrap bracelets, wrap bracelet beading board and how to use it here. I will be adding more videos to my channel related to everything wrap bracelets. I've been making wrap bracelets for several years and want to share the knowledge I have and the techniques I have discovered work best for me. But most of all, I hope you can take something away from my videos to make this process a little easier. I also have an Etsy shop where you can see the wrap bracelets I've made, as well as a valuable & detailed wrap bracelet measuring guide to save the guesswork of how much leather & beads to use. Thank you for watching and feel free to leave any comments, suggestions, or ideas you may have for tutorials you'd like to see on my channel.
PART 2: How to Use the DIY Wrap Bracelet Beading Board
To make your own wrap bracelet beading board, you can watch the tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/NuZOC_ado18/w-d-xo.html
In Part 2 of this DIY project, you will see the finished product of the wrap bracelet beading board I designed, and I will also show you how to use the board, show you how I sew beads on, as well as a couple different options on how to hold it while beading, or how to attach the board to something while beading. This was the first design I came up several years ago because I really needed some extra space between the base of the board and the leather cords to more efficiently sew beads on, and clipboards or other methods weren't working as well for me. This board is only about 1 foot long, is compact and travel friendly, and you will be able to use it to make a single wrap up to a 5 wrap bracelet, and I'll also show you how to adjust your work as you go. If you're only making a single wrap, there's no need to adjust your work since it's the perfect length. I had designed an all in one board over the past year, and was selling them at one point but unfortunately it was no longer cost effective to continue. So I decided, the next best thing would be to share this design with everyone.
Although this may not suit everyone's needs, it is my hope this is helpful. Please feel free to leave any comments or questions you may have for me, and I'd also love to hear about any helpful suggestions to make using this beading board easier than it is already.

You will find a list of ...
Thank you!!!
You're welcome, I'm happy to help and appreciate your comment!
Thanks for showing how to change or secure the old thread.
You're welcome! I hope it was helpful.
I have a question. I am wondering how you sit to make your wrap bracelet with such a long board in front of you? Seems like it would be awkward and uncomfortable. Thanks!
Sorry for the delayed response. That's a really great question and I'll explain it as best as I can. I sit with the top of the board (with the button/beginning of stitching) close to my lap and between my legs. The bottom of the board is on a grip mat, on the floor, at a slight angle, so it stays put. Basically I'm looking down towards the bottom of the board, stitching until I transition to a different position. Keeping in mind, I'm right handed, as I get further down the board with my stitching, I'll move the board, so it sits across my lap at a slight angle. In other words, the the upper portion of the board will lay across my left leg, and the rest of the board will lay across my right leg. And then, I keep moving down the board as I go. I hope that makes sense but, I'll work on a video showing how I do this because I can see how this would be confusing. You could also lay the board flat on a table and stitch with the board laying sideways in front of you (the top of the board would be to your left, the bottom of the board to your right. Another option would be to hang it from the attached string on the wall. With that option, the board would be hanging vertically which can be challenging since gravity works against you. I'll try to post a video explaining this in the next couple days, so I appreciate your question and thank you! Please let me know if you have any questions about this explanation.
@@calibluestrands2023 that sounds great! I'd really like to see how you actually use it.
Thank u for sharing I think it is beautiful ❤

Very cool
Thank so much!! I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Only a suggestion. I made about 150 of these for a craft show about 5 years ago. The only difference is, I use two needles and two threads. I sew around the leather and go through the bead with the first needle one direction and at the same time I go through the bead in the opposite direction with the second needle. It makes the bracelet really strong and if one thread would break, you don't lose your beads and the bracelet can be repaired. I used some pretty expensive beads in the ones I made so I wanted them seriously secured. It's pretty easy to do it that way. When I put the leather through the button, I then string the threads under the leather on the button and you don't see it and then I macrame about 3/4" with the thread from the button then start sewing my beads. Not trying to be a smarty pants. Just offering another way to do these. I think they are beautiful and take me back to the 1970s when I was a young person. I only try to pay it forward as people have done for me.
Thank you for the suggestions, I'm always open to input and I don't think you're a smarty pants at all! Especially with the obvious experience you have in making wrap bracelets, so I do appreciate any input that's helpful. I understand what you're saying about using 2 needles and am curious if you end up with a total of 4 threads going through each bead instead of 2? I've also actually threaded the button just like you suggested when I was new at this and searching for tutorials in the beginning, and it's a great method as well, but I ended up tying it on with a larks head knot instead because it's a little easier and it's still very secure, and still have 2 threads going through each bead all the way down. Fortunately, I've never had any repair issues with customers over the years with the bracelets I've sold the bracelets but, having an easier way to repair the bracelet is a great option. My husband has been rough on his bracelets and wears them constantly, in the shower, etc and after a few years I did need to repair one of them and just simply removed enough beads to tie off and start a new piece of thread for that section. I am curious though, if your method ended up with 4 threads going through each bead, or 2 threads. Thanks for posting this, experience is always welcome!
I would like to add, everyone has their own methods that work well for them, as well as preferences on how they want to begin and end thread, or stitch the beads on. I've found, over many years, after trying various methods from tutorials on TH-cam, my own personal method is one I felt worth sharing since it is different in the way you begin and end the threads, being that they are well hidden and very secure.. But, with that said, there are many great tutorials on TH-cam and some of those other options may suit other personal preferences. People should choose what methods work best for them, or take a little from each one and make it their own way, and even come up with a better method as well. I've found what quality materials work best for a lasting bracelet, what techniques have worked the best for me, and I have been blessed with 100% customer satisfaction over the last several years, selling hundreds of wrap bracelets and my hope is I can help someone else be successful as well, just as you have! Again, I appreciate your valuable input!
@@calibluestrands2023 Thank you.

How long is your loom?
It's 38" long.
@@calibluestrands2023 thanks!
I have to apologize but I made a typo on the measurement I gave you. Instead of it being 38" long, it's 39" long. I'm so sorry about that. @@kbaxterpackwood
@@calibluestrands2023 thanks for the update, I made one that's 40 inches long, now I can weave my copper wire trims w/o worrying about kinks and stuff, great idea actually.
No problem, I'm glad I could help with the idea! @@kbaxterpackwood
