How To: Tubular Mesh Braided Bracelet

All materials available from http://mailorder-beads.co.uk - links to individual items can be found below.

Steph teaches you how to use the versatile tubular mesh to make this braided bracelet. You can fill the mesh with Czech Glass seed beads to add colour and sparkle. We also show you the best way to securely finish the mesh before gluing on barrel ends using Devcon epoxy glue and give you some very useful tips and hints to make filling the tubing even easier! Plaiting adds even more texture and pattern, and you can vary the colour of both the mesh and the seed beads to create different looks or even make a longer version to create a statement necklace piece.

For a 15/16cm bracelet, you will need:
1m of 4mm Grey Tubular Mesh
2.5g of Size 8 Seed Beads in 3 different colours we used Silver Lined Crystal, Aqua and Blue
6x 4mm Czech Glass Faceted Beads
1x 9mm Barrel Cord Ends and Clasp
Devcon Epoxy Glue
Thread and Needle
