I remember giving my best friend in middle school a beaded bracelet with my name on it. That way, everyone would know that she is my best friend.
This is such a cute way to show how much you care about someone. And it does not really have to stop at names.
Maybe you want your bracelet to actually say “best friends” or something cute like that. The choice is completely yours.
I personally love to make coupled bracelets. By this, I mean one bracelet with a word or name on it and another that has no words but complementary color.
Now you will have two bracelets that go together. I truly feel like a fashionista when I rock two bracelets that I made myself.
You could also make matching bracelets for you and a friend. I think I may make a bracelet with my dog’s name on it.
There are so many ways that you can personalize your beaded bracelets. Names, of course, would be the most common way to go.
You and the kiddos will have a fun time working together on these bracelets. And you know for sure that they will be unique to you.

How To Make Beaded Name Bracelets
Learning how to make name bracelets with beads is super simple. You will be so surprised.
Tools
- Bead needle
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Scissors
Instructions
- Cut a piece of elastic cord about 9” in length, tie a loose knot on one end, and attach the other end to the beading needle.
- Look at the size chart and layout your beads on the table next to the ruler in the order you want them to lay. This way you if you have a name you’d like in the center, you know it will be even on both sides.
- Use your bead needle to easily pick up the beads and slide them on your cord.
- Once all beads are on the cord in the correct order, take the two ends of the cord, and tie an elastic cord knot (see photo 6) close to the beads and pull tight.
- Follow the directions of the e6000 glue, dab the knot into the glue, and let dry. This step will prevent the beads from falling off if stretched on too big of a wrist.
