Bohemian Goddess Turquoise Wrapped DIY Bracelet

April 3, 2017 by Gina Michele 14 Comments

The inspiration for this beaded, wrapped DIY bracelet comes from Tory Burch. I loved the original, but not the high price tag, so I decided to DIY my own version! Anyway, creating your own DIY jewelry project is always so much fun. Plus, you’re free to customize this DIY bracelet to suit your tastes or needs.
Turquoise and leather are a classic combo and the large button closure really makes this a stand-out piece. This beaded bracelet is the perfect combination of bohemian and glam to get you feeling like the boho chic goddess you were meant to be! Not to mention, the design would look great on its own or stacked with other bracelets. Best of all, it’s really easy to make. Read below to find out how!

Supplies Needed for this DIY Bracelet Pattern:

  • Leather cord (approximately 20 inches)
  • Turquoise beads
  • Bead stringing wire
  • Leather (or tapestry) needle – it needs to have a large eye
  • Large button (with shank)

Instructions for this DIY Bracelet Pattern:
Step 1: Figure out the length you need the cord in order to fit your wrist. Fold the leather cord in half and make a knot at the end. Make sure your button can pass through the hole. It’s okay if the fit is a little tight. The leather will stretch over time.
Step 2: Pull it around your wrist and make a double knot on the other end. When put around your wrist, the knots on either end should be about 1/2 away from touching. Don’t trim the excess cord because it will be used to tie on the button.

Step 3: Knot the button on to end of the leather cord. Then, wrap the bead stringing wire around the end and make a double knot.
Step 4: Thread the wire through the needle and begin stringing on the beads.

Step 5: As you are stringing on the beads, begin wrapping the wire around the leather cord. Be sure to work in sections to prevent the wire from getting tangled. Don’t wrap it too tight or your DIY bracelet won’t be able to bend around your wrist. To help estimate how tight you should make this, check to make sure the beads are loose enough so that you can move them around with your fingers.
Step 6: Repeat this beading and wrapping process until you reach the end of the cord (before the knot). Then, insert the needle under the knot to tie off the wire.

Moving to the next step, insert the needle back and forth through the knot a few times to make sure it is secure. Knot it a few times and cut the end of the wire. Wear & enjoy!

    Beautiful. What type of bead stringing wire did you use and how long did you cut the piece. So excited to try this but don’t want to run out of wire before the end of the braclet.

    Hi,
    I would love to make this bracelet from your tutorial, but have a few questions.
    1. About how many breeds did you use?
    2. How long did you cut the beading wire?
    3. I’m not understanding this instruction …. Step 2: Pull it around your wrist and make a double knot on the other end. When put around your wrist, the knots on either end should be about 1/2 away from touching. Don’t trim the excess cord because it will be used to tie on the button.
    ****what do you mean by 1/2 way touching???*******

    Thank you, and hope to hear from, cause I really want to make this.

    Loretta ….

      Hi Loretta-
      1) I’m not sure the exact number of beads I used…maybe 50-75?
      2) I cut the bead stringing wire to 50 inches.
      3) Sorry- this is a misprint! It should read a 1/2 INCH from touching.
      Hope this helps!
      Gina

    Thank you for clarifying that for me. However, I’m still having trouble with step 5. Do you use a special technique wrapping the beads around the leather? I’ve tried many different ways and its either too tight or too loose. The beads just don’t lay as pretty as your picture. Any suggestions? you may email me @ loretnc@gmail.com…thank you!

    What kind and size beads did you use? A large hole needle doesn’t fit through the bead. I love the bracelet and look forward to making it!

    I’m interested in knowing the size beads that you used and as with the previous comment if there’s any special way that you attached the beading wire to the leather. Thank

    I tried it and it is difficult to wrap the beads.
