DIY | Mini-bracelets with Delica beads

Armbĺnd med delica perler pĺ wire

Here we’ll show you how to use the small Japanese Delica seed beads.

Delica beads, which are usually used in peyote stitching and embroidery, have shown to have many other uses, if you have a little creativity.

Patterns and colours can be combined in countless of combinations, and you’ll always find a large selection of the most popular Delica seed beads at Smyks.

This Delica bead bracelet consists of 5 individual rows connected to 1 5mm jumpring in each end. Smyks have plenty of beautiful pastel colours, this particular bracelet is in different shades of sea green.

This is how you make a Delica bracelet with wire and a simple jewelry clasp. A little piece of cable chain ensures an adjustable bracelet size. Combine several colours in one bracelet, or make a bunch and wear them simultaneously.

Next, push the crimp bead up to the jumpring, and press it flat with your chain-nose pliers. Press with force to make sure the crimp bead is secured, then cut off the excess wire.

When your bracelet is either 16,cm long or your own desired length (depending on whether you have cable chain or not,) finish off your bracelet with the same technique as when you started. Pull the wire through a crimp bead, then a 5mm jumpring, and then back through the crimp bead.

Delica seed beads can be found in many different colours, so you can make your own colour combinations and patterns. Underneath are more examples of more colour combinations. If you get tired of your bracelet, it doesn’t cost you more than another piece of jewelry wire and a pair of crimp beads to cut the bracelet and re-use the beads in a whole new combination.
