Beadshop LIVE: Pearl & Macramé Friendship Bracelets

Let's make a stack of Sidekick bracelets to accent and fill up your wrist wardrobe! Kate's super Friendship Bracelet got us going this year, nothing is more popular than a stack of fun bracelets. Summertime is the right time to load up that wrist, make a set of bracelets to keep or give.

Emily's ingredient list is simple: she's using wire, a few pearls, and Chinese Knotting Cord for the delicate micromacramé. She chose pretty gray pearls for this one, but the recipe is totally adaptable to any beads you might have on hand. Adding a clasp that slides isn't a new trick, but its such a good idea to make a bracelet that will fit almost any wrist, perfect for giving to your bestie!
