Ribbon Pearl Bracelet Tutorial
Here’s a another simple, fun DIY bracelet tutorial for you. This was actually my Sunday afternoon project, but it took me a couple days to compile the pictures. ย But here it is for you!
I love this DIY ribbon pearl bracelet for its classic girly look and of course, how easy it do! It works well as a stand alone bracelet or even stacked with some other bracelets for an arm party. It’s a very elegant piece, and I think it would look worn at a more formal event such a wedding!
Materials Needed for this ribbon pearl bracelet:
– You will need approximately 20 inches of ribbon – about 3 times the length of your wrist.
– Pearls or beads. ย I’ve used 12mm beads in the tutorial
– Stretch cord or stringing material
– A needle
Bracelet Instructions:
- Thread your stretch cord through your needle, ( you may need a needle with a larger loop hole depending on the size of your stretch cord.) ย Then sew through a fold of ribbon.
- Thread the needle through bead.
- Then thread the needle through another fold.
- Repeat steps 2-3 til you have all your beads strung.
- Tie the ends of the cord ends together into a secure knot and tie the ribbon into a pretty bow.
You can also make this pearl & ย ribbon woven bracelet with many different ย variations such as weaving through extra folds or uneven widths of ribbon for a more creative fun look. I’ve even seen this bracelet done with 2 colors of ribbon for a dual toned look as well. I hope you give this pearl ribbon bracelet tutorial a try!

April 7, 2014what size is the ribbon?
Eileen
April 7, 2014You’ll need ribbon that is the same width as the beads/pearls you’re using. So if you use 10 mm pearls, you’ll need 10 mm width ribbon.

March 26, 2013I love the idea! How many beads did you use?
YesMissy
March 26, 2013Hi Terica,
The number of beads will vary depending on their size. With 12 mm beads I used about 16.. and when I’ve used 10mm beads I think I’ve used closer to 20. Hope that helps you out!
Cheers,
Eileen

February 17, 2013I think I’m going to try this with our MOPS group too! What size of pearls and ribbon did you use?

February 19, 2013Hi Lyndsee,
I used 12mm beads and 10 mm ribbon for the initial tutorial. For the pic below with the white beads, I used 10 mm beads. I find that 10mm – 12mm work best!
Cheers,
Eileen

July 31, 2012Thank you for posting… it took me 3 tries but I got it. I just had a hard time getting my loops to even. They still aren’t totally even, but good enough i guess. I’m using this as a craft for my MOPS group and I’m sure they’ll love it! Thanks again!
