Bead bracelets for teens!!

I again did this at a party and it was a cool craft to do. I would not recommend this one to kids lower than age 10. It is kind of meticulous and is dealing with sharp things, like safety pins.
Materials:

  • Bead design co. wood beads
  • #95 paracord white string
  • Sew-ology assorted safety pins 
Measure a length of paracord around your wrist, wit ha little extra to tie.
Set aside, and pull out some safety pins. 
Get a bunch of pins and start feeding beads onto it after you unlock the little thing that's hooked on it. 
You can put beads on it in a pattern, but make enough that when you string the pins onto the 
string that it bunches together and is close like that upper picture. 
Take your string and cut one the same length as the first. This will be your lower string.
String the pins on the upper string and push together. Feed the lower string through the lower part of the pins and pull.
Tie the ends of the top string together and the lower string together.
You are done!!
This is perfect for teens and a long craft to keep the kids occupied.
