Need a quick and cute gift? Why not make some cute seed bead friendship stacking bracelets? You can whip these little beauties out in no time flat. Below are instructions on how to make seed bead stacking bracelets.


Step 1: round up your materials


Grab our stacking bracelet seed bead kit here! OR search for what you already have
Decorative headpin (1)
Crimp bead covers (2) OPTIONAL
Crimp beads (2)
Chain extender (or you can link jump rings together)
Jump rings
A combination pliers tool (or crimp bead tool, flat nose pliers, round nose pliers, and nipper)
Wire


Step 2: 
Snip your wire (the average wrist size is 7", and you'll want to allow an extra couple of inches for stringing), next add on your first crimp bead, then your clasp, then feed the wire back thru the crimp bead - and crimp your crimp bead!


Step 3:
Start stringing your beads - this is the fun part!


Step 4:
After you've finished stringing - add a crimp bead, next your chain extender, then loop the wire back thru the crimp and a few of the beads.


Step 5:
Add on your charm, and cover the crimp beads with crimp bead covers. 


Step 6:
Add a bead onto a decorative headpin.

Step 7:
Attach the headpin onto the end of the extender by creating a simple loop.




Step 8:
Done! Now wear, and make more!
