To start a beaded bracelet, cut a piece of beading wire or elastic cord longer than your desired length and secure one end with a bead stopper or a piece of tape to prevent beads from slipping off. To end the bracelet, string a crimp bead after your last bead, loop the wire back through the crimp bead and a few preceding beads, then flatten the crimp bead with pliers to secure, and trim any excess wire. If using elastic, tie a secure knot, add a drop of jewelry glue for extra hold, and trim the excess cord.
