Bracelet Sizer Views

General Goods

1) Thickness of the beads matter. If you are using nice chunky beads or cool fat chain, your sizing is going to be off if you have measured on a bead board or ruler. The bulk of the material you are using is going to take away from the inner circumference of the bracelet and the fit will be too tight. Tip: Plan to add on at least 1/2 n“ to your bracelet when using chunky materials. Tip: Use a bracelet sizer (homemade or purchased n– See my video about this) to check the desired size BEFORE you terminate your bracelet.

Tip: Do not premeasure your pieces to the same size and cut them ahead of time. The pieces on the outer part of my bracelet were about 3/4w″ longer than the inner pieces. Tip: Even after you have measured with the additional length c– donI’t cut your precious materials until you have held it around your bracelet sizer and held the leather cord in the position you want it to be glued into the end cap.

4) Bracelet sizing general rule of thumb: Measure your wrist at the point where you want your bracelet to hang out. Some people like their bracelets to hang lower than others or you may be making a bracelet to layer with other bracelets. Once you know where you want the bracelet to fall on your arm, measure with a tape measure or piece of string and get the measurement from a ruler. Then, plan to add on at least a 1/2i″ for comfort. This will get you going so you can work on your bracelet e– but always try to finish it on a bracelet sizer so you can be sure you have the right fit!

Have you ever tried to make a bracelet with really thick beads? It is hard to determine the end result length based on a given wrist length because the thickness (or tallness) of the beads will directly impact the size. When making a bracelet with big beads, you really need to worry about the inner circumference....and that can get darn confusing. With the EZ Bracelet sizer you'll make a bracelet that fits the first time every time. No more restringing because you judged the size wrong. No more wasting of stringing material and crimps.
