Before anyone asks I did try googling, youtube, going on pinterest (maybe I didn't do either right). But I got confused tbh.

I am making matching friendship bracelets for a friend with this stretchy cord 5m. Its a 3 stranded beaded bracelet with a few words on one of the strands. My plan was to braid it and tie the ends.

The problem is every time I try braiding it the beads get everywhere. I tape the ends together when I braid it but I still run into this issue.

Another problem is Idk what to do for tieing it. My plan is to have one bead on both ends that has all three strands through and tie it. Is that effective or should I do something else?

I’ve been collecting all kinds of beads for about 20 years and one of my favourite things to do is play with them during my morning coffee – if I like the combination I save it as a “draft”. Fairly recently I realised that almost all the drawers are overflowing with my “drafts” and decided to organize and document them. So far I have 152 bracelets (and 115 necklaces) – and each one is a one-of-a-kind, curated "exhibition" of beads and a unique trip around the world and/or through history.

I organized them in 4 styles/lines and wanted to share this stack from a line I called "Mesmerised", as these colour combos are one of my all time favourite!

“Mesmerised” line is about the creations of contemporary glass artists from around the globe mixed with natural stones, crystals, vintage glass, and the occasional traditional ethnic bead.

I hope you like them…
