Materials

Hama bead Parchment paper Iron Glass

Instructions

Step 1. Choose a design - I chose a diamond design that was three beads wide and about 8.5" long.

Step 2:

Make sure the start and finish of your bracelet end at different angles so they'll match up when you form the bracelet.

Step 3: Use your iron to fuse the strip of beads together.

Step 4. Take the strip while it's still warm and wrap it around your glass, making sure to join the ends together.

Step 5. Once you've fused the two ends together, work your way around the rest of the bracelet to give it extra hold.
