I couldn’t find binder pins so I have used these claws to join the two ends of the pipe cleaners together. Note that this is completely optional, if you have someone to help you, you might not even need these.
Step One: Assemble The Pipe Cleaners and Beads:
Take two pipe cleaners of your choice of colors.
Hold the two ends of the pipe cleaners together and insert your first bead through the two pipe cleaners.
Keep a 2-3 centimeters gap and insert your second bead.
Similarly, enter all the beads keeping an equal distance between each bead.
Step Two: Make The Bracelet Structure:
Now, start spreading the gap between the two pipe cleaners between the beads.
Take one end of the pipe cleaner, and take one strand and make a loop with it. Make a loop and take it back inside the last bead. Take the second strand and wrap it around the end of the loop.
Use something circular shaped to shape your bracelet.
Step Three: Finish The Bracelet Craft:
Insert the other end through the loop.
Bend it to secure the bracelet.
There you go. Your pipe cleaner bracelet is ready. Wasn’t that absolutely easy? Make a bunch of these bracelets for all of your friends and wish them a happy friendship day. For the second design please visit the YouTube Video link.
Tips and Tricks Working With Pipe Cleaners Craft:
- Select pipe cleaners that are soft and not harsh. It’ll be more comfortable to wear.
- Measure the circumference of your hand/your friend’s hand to make the bracelet.
- Select beads that have large enough holes to insert two pipe cleaners.
- If you have a small wrist keep small gaps between the beads.
- Apply glue on the first and last beads to prevent them from budging from their places.
- If you don’t have someone else to help you hold the ends use paper clips, binder clips, or bobby pins.
- If you are working with little kids keep cautious while using brads. Beads are choking hazards for little children.
