Materials Needed

• Mini clothespin charms
• Jewelry cord (waxed cord, cotton cord, or leather cord)
• Decorative beads (wood, glass, acrylic, or colorful beads)
• Jump rings (optional)
• Small charms (optional)
• Scissors
• Jewelry glue (optional)
• Measuring ruler

Step 1: Prepare Your Cord

Measure and cut your jewelry cord to your desired length. For a bracelet, measure around your wrist and add extra length for tying knots or adjusting the size. For a necklace, choose your preferred length before cutting.

Step 2: Arrange Your Design

Lay your mini clothespin charms and beads on a flat surface. Try different colors, shapes, and patterns before adding them to the cord. This helps you create a balanced and beautiful design.

Step 3: Add the Beads

Thread your beads onto the cord one by one. Mix different sizes and colors to create texture and personality. Slide the beads gently into position without forcing them.

Step 4: Attach the Mini Clothespin Charms

Add the mini clothespin charms between your beads for a cute decorative touch. You can clip them directly onto the cord or attach them with small jump rings for extra movement.

Step 5: Secure the Ends

Once your design is complete, tie secure knots at both ends of the cord. Add a small amount of jewelry glue if needed to keep the knots strong and long-lasting.

Step 6: Final Check

Check your design carefully. Make sure all beads, charms, and knots are secure. Adjust the spacing until your jewelry piece looks balanced and comfortable to wear.
