Start off by taking a small piece of clay and rolling it into a ball. If using other decorative beads, make the clay bead about the same size.
Thread the beads through a toothpick or a bamboo skewer to make a hole through it. Let the beads dry for 12-24 hours. Once they are completely dry, remove them from the skewer.
At this point, you can paint them if you wish!
Take a piece of hemp cord or elastic string to make your bracelet. String the clay beads and decorative beads onto the string. Measure around your wrist and cut the size you need.
Notes
If you are using elastic string and the string starts to ravel, just add a little clear nail polish to the string to stop it from raveling. This also makes it easier to string the beads. You do not have to use all diffuser beads on your bracelet. Regular metal or plastic beads can be used for the majority of the bracelet as long as you have a few porous beads to add some essential oils too. I would suggest spreading them out so you can add essential oils throughout the bracelet. Watch how I make this bracelet in the video tutorial.
