Beading Fun: Make Your Own Bracelet Worksheet

How to use this worksheet

Tie a large knot or attach a bead stopper at one end of the string so beads don't slide off while threading. Let your child choose and thread beads onto the string one at a time, holding the string steady with one hand while guiding the bead with the other. Continue until the string is filled to the desired bracelet length. Help tie off the ends securely into a knot to complete the bracelet.
