Jewelry Around the World Day 6: Ecuador-Inspired Fiesta Colorful DIY Bracelet

August 22, 2015 by Catherine Fox

Jewelry Around the WorldWelcome! It’s Day 6 of our Jewelry Around the World Promotion, and we’re so excited to share all of these DIY jewelry projects with you. This colorful DIY bracelet is easy to make and it’s completely customizable to your preferences.

Inspired by the natural materials and bright colors found in traditional Ecuador jewelry, this DIY bracelet will make anyone smile! If you crave more layers, then feel free to make more than one for a collection of homemade bracelets that you can stack for the ultimate layered look that’s so on-trend right now. Or, this easy jewelry tutorial can be customized with the colors of your choice in order to match any outfit you own!

Ecuador-Inspired Fiesta Colorful DIY Bracelet

Ecuador-Inspired Fiesta Colorful DIY Bracelet

Materials:

  • Multi-colored painted wooden beads, 5mm
  • Natural colored wooden beads, 5mm
  • Gold colored memory wire
  • Round-nose pliers
  • Heavy-duty wire cutters

Instructions:

I decided that for each loop, I would create a different pattern. If desired, you can create your bracelet with only one pattern. I prefer not to cut my memory wire until I’ve strung all my beads on the memory wire. One other tip is to extend the pattern for each loop because it expands when you wear the bracelet, so I ended up with just about five loops with four patterns. (See photo below)

Ecuador-Inspired Fiesta Colorful DIY Bracelet

Loop 1: Continue this pattern until entire loop is filled: string on the memory wire, (1) natural bead, (1) blue bead, (1) natural bead, (1) green bead, (1) natural bead, (1) yellow bead, (1) natural bead, (1) pink bead, (1) natural bead, and (1) purple bead.

Loop 2: Continue this pattern until entire loop is filled: (1) natural bead, (1) blue bead, (1) green bead, (1) yellow bead, (1) pink bead, and (1) purple bead.

Loop 3: Continue this pattern until entire loop is filled: (1) natural bead, (3) blue beads, (1) natural bead, (3) green beads, (1) natural bead, (3) yellow beads, (1) natural bead, (3) pink beads, (1) natural bead, and (3) purple beads.

Loop 4: I repeated Loop 1’s pattern to finish off.  I also finished off each end with two natural beads.

After you have strung on all your beads, close the end with a loop using your round-nose pliers. Be careful to direct your loop towards the outside. This is so when you wear your bracelet, you will not be poked by the loop. Cut off the excess wire and finish off the other end with a loop as well.

What’s your favorite beading technique?
