Step by Step Instructions for Beaded Cherry Bracelet
Step 1: Measuring and Preparing the Wire
Take the beading wire bundle and a ruler. Hold the wire from its open end and roll out a good amount. Use the ruler to measure 4 times the measured bracelet length/ size. Cut off the measured wire from the bundle.
Bend the wire in half neatly.
Step 2: Bending the Wire in Half
The half-bent wire should have 1 closed end on one side and 2 open ends on the other.
Step 3: Insert Lobster Claw Closure
Take a lobster claw closure and insert it through any 1 open end of the beading wire. Push the closure to the closed end of the wire.
Step 4: Secure the Closure
Take a small bead and insert it through the 2 open ends of the beading wire. Push it to the lobster claw closure. This will secure the lobster claw closure.
Step 5: Start the Beading
Insert white and golden colored beads through both strands of the wire. Do not use red or green beads; we’ll use the red and green beads to make the cherries and leaves. Keep this initial beading length about an inch, not more than that.
Step 6: Insert Cherry and Leaf Beads
Insert a green crystal bead followed by 2 red crystal beads into both strands of wire.
Step 7: Thread the Green Bead Again
Hold the open ends of the wire firmly and bring it around the green bead. Insert the wire through the same hole of the green bead again.
Step 8: Pull the Wire
Pull the wire firmly and bring the green and red beads closer.
Step 9: Add Filling Beads
Now, insert a few more beads (white and golden) through the wire. About an inch of filling beads should do.
Step 10: Repeat the Beading Process
Make the beaded cherry pattern after 2cm or 3cm of interval beading. Continue the beading until the bracelet reaches its required length.
Step 11: Make End Loop
Use the looping pliers to make a small loop adjacent to the last bead of the wire.
Step 12: Secure the End Loop
Coil the open end of the wire below the loop to secure it.
Step 13: Closing the Bracelet
Cut off the extra wire if necessary. Use the end loop to close the bracelet with the lobster claw closure.

Tips for Beginners
- Use memory wire or beading wire for this bracelet.
- Select smaller and plain beads for the interval beading or filling beads.
- Use bigger (than the interval beads) beads for the cherry and leaf part.
- Use lobster claw closure, it’s easier to manage for bracelets.
