Ideas about Using Waxed Cord to Create Fashion Bracelets

Waxed cord, some people may call it as waxed thread, waxed string or waxed twine, is a widely used stringing material in jewelry making. Well, what is waxed cord? It is basically made by lightly coating individual pieces of cord, usually polyester or nylon, with wax. Waxed cords are always used for a number of different applications, and today, we would like to share some good ideas about creating popular bracelets with these cords.

Fashion Tibeten Style Bracelets

Anchor bracelet is very popular and timeless. So, it is our first jewelry making idea with waxed cord. The materials we need are Korea cotton wax cord (any color you like), silver alloy lobster, silver anchor, 2pcs silver cord ends, jump rings and 1 strand of extended chain. Cut off 2 strands of waxed cord with the same length first. Second, fold them at their middle place, and make knot to hold and/or hang anchor at its two ends separately like picture. Third, use cord end to combine cords together. Fourth, use jump rings to attach lobster clasp and extended chain on each cord end. Till now, a popular anchor bracelet is finished.

Fashion Acrylic Bracelets

The second bracelet is created with beige waxed cord, 6pcs 12mm black opaque acrylic beads, Tibetan style starfish pendant (about 23mm long and 19mm wide), cord ends, jump rings and lobster clasp. First, cut off two strands of waxed cords with the same length. Second, make a knot with cord at one end, and string 3pcs black opaque acrylic beads on it. Making knot between each beads like bead spacers, and make a knot at the other end of third beads to stop it fall off. Just like the picture. Third, repeat the second step to string the rest 3pcs beads on the other wax cord. Fourth, string the Tibetan style starfish pendant on two strings. Twist the two strings for twice, and use cord ends to combine together like picture. Please kindly note the places of beads. The last step is using a jump ring to attach lobster clasp on a cord end. You can also add a string a extended chain on the other cord end to make this bracelet as adjustable one.

Apart from using waxed cord to make bracelets, waxed cord is also used in necklace making, anklet making and many other crafts making. Anchor bracelet and starfish bracelet are very popular, and you cannot miss them. If you are a jewelry materials retailer, you cannot miss the waxed cord, anchors and starfishes. Wholesale them from reputable jewelry materials online wholesalers, like PandaHall.com, at competitive prices to earn more money is a wise decision.
