Rhinestone Braided Bracelet DIY Supplies

step 1
TIP: When I measured my rhinestone cord I found that before braiding, my cord wrapped around my wrist 4 times and after braiding it wrapped around 3 times. Keep that in mind when deciding how long to make your rhinestone cord. You’ll probably loose at least 1 wrap after braiding.

Start with your embroidery thread and measure 3 lengths a few inches longer than your rhinestone trim.

Make sure your ribbon is also a little longer as well.Rhinestone Braided Bracelet DIY Sections

step 2
Attach one of your jump rings to your closure and set aside.

step 3
Take your other jump ring, your fabric glue and your ribbon.

Thread your ribbon through your jump ring and fold it over about one half inch and glue it down with your fabric glue.

Do the same with your embroidery thread.

Let them dry.Rhinestone Braided Bracelet DIY Gluing 1

step 4
Once your ribbon and embroidery thread are dry, place a small amount of your Aleenes Jewel-it glue on your ribbon and press the end rhinestone into it.

step 5
When all your glue is dry youre ready to start braiding.

This is just a simple braid, I kept it a little tight and pulled the embroidery thread in between the rhinestones as I braided it.

Continue braiding all the way to the end of your rhinestone cord.Rhinestone Braided Bracelet DIY Braiding

step 6
When you are finished braiding, take your jump ring with the closure attached and glue your ribbon and embroidery thread through the jump ring the same way you did at the beginning. Let them dry.

When they are dry apply a small amount of your Jewel-it glue to the end of your ribbon and press the end of your rhinestone cord into it.Rhinestone Braided Bracelet DIY BackRhinestone Braided Bracelet DIY Detail

I think this is definitely my new favorite bracelet. I was really happy at how it turned out.Rhinestone Braided Bracelet DIY Photo

It has a lot of sparkle and its simple enough to be stacked with other bracelets or worn alone.

Again this is a great project to really customize to your taste. You can mix it up with any color you want and even make it as long or as short as you want. Have fun with it!

Leave me a comment and let me know how yours turns out.

  1. That’s beautiful! I’m going to try it! Where do you usually buy your rhinestones? Is there a favorite website you buy supplies from?

  2. Where did you get the rhinestone cord?

  3. That’s perfect. I can’t wait to make this for my daughters.

  4. You can get the rhinestones for these at JoAnn fabric in the embroidery/fabric section of the store. You can also get a little cheaper ones by the yard or spool at Walmart sometimes, but the beautiful shiny ones are really not that much more at JoAnn . I have been making these for a long time and was really excited to see someone else making these too! They are BEAUTIFUL and so versatile. I sell a lot of them :)
