When I’ve got some spare time to do a little crafting just for me, I like to make easy jewelry projects. Right now, that consists of using stretchy elastic and beads because frankly it’s quick and so easy to make! The other day I made this fun set of Easy Rainbow Beaded Bracelets.
You only need a few things to make a set for yourself…
Stretch Magic Bead & Jewelry Cord {.5 mm}
wooden beads in a few colors
scissors
I had everything on hand already. Not sure what I had bought the bag of colored beads for, but I definitely put them to good use!
I decided to separate the beads by color and make individual bracelets of each color. All I did was string the beads, measure it against my wrist every now and then, and tied it off.
Soon I had a rainbow of new bracelets to choose from. The beads are small enough that I could wear them all at once, or just pick and choose the colors I want to wear together on any particular day.
What easy crafts do you work on when you’ve got some extra time?!


Love that these are so colorful!
