Meet the Maker
I am a Social Worker by day and DIY'ER and Crafter by night and weekends. I started crafting as a way to show my love and appreciation for others through handmade gifts for Birthdays, Christmas, Anniversaries and other holidays and occasions. What started out as a hobby and interest has now turned into newly established business and love for creating. I mainly focus on beaded and sublimated items such as bracelets, keychains, badge reels, pens, necklaces, t-shirts, mugs, tumblers, mouse pads, and totes. As time goes on and business picks up I hope to incorporate other crafts and items.
At Showme Sunflower Creations, I pour my heart and soul into handcrafting each unique item. My passion for creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces is matched only by my commitment to quality and attention to detail. Every bead is carefully selected, and every design is thoughtfully crafted to ensure that my creations not only add a touch of elegance to your style but also reflect the uniqueness of your personality. With a focus on creativity and a dedication to excellence, I strive to bring joy and confidence to each person who wears my handmade treasures. Join me in celebrating individuality and embracing the beauty of handcrafted artistry.
How it’s Made
Materials Needed:
6-inch strand of Heishi Polymer Clay beads (choose your desired color)
Silver 6/0 seed beads (these are about 4mm in size)
Acrylic candy corn charm
0.7mm clear elastic stretch cord
E6000 glue (for securing the knot)
Scissors
Beading needle (optional, to make threading easier)
Measuring tape
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Materials
Measure your wrist (or the wrist size of the person you're making the bracelet for). Most women's bracelets are about 6-7 inches, but adjust for the desired fit.
Cut a piece of 0.7mm clear elastic stretch cord about 4-6 inches longer than your wrist measurement. This gives extra room for knotting.
2. String the Heishi Polymer Clay Beads
Begin by stringing your Heishi Polymer Clay beads onto the stretch cord. You can thread them in a uniform color, or mix colors if desired.
For ease of threading, you can use a beading needle, but it’s not essential.
3. Incorporate the Silver 6/0 Seed Beads
After threading about 2 inches of the Heishi beads, start adding a few silver 6/0 seed beads.
Alternate between the Heishi beads and the silver seed beads to create a fun pattern. For example, you could add 3 Heishi beads, then 1 silver seed bead, and repeat this pattern.
Leave space in the center for the candy corn charm.
4. Add the Acrylic Candy Corn Charm
When you reach the center of your bracelet, add the acrylic candy corn charm to the stretch cord.
After placing the charm, continue with the same pattern of Heishi beads and silver seed beads until you reach your desired bracelet length.
5. Complete the Bracelet
Once you’ve reached your desired length, test the bracelet fit by wrapping it around your wrist.
Ensure there's some stretch but that it’s not too tight. Adjust the beads if necessary.
6. Tie the Bracelet
To secure the bracelet, tie a surgeon’s knot:
Cross the two ends of the elastic cord and tie a simple overhand knot.
Make a second overhand knot, but pass one end of the cord through the loop twice before pulling tight.
Pull both ends of the cord gently to secure the knot firmly.
7. Reinforce the Knot
Apply a small amount of E6000 glue to the knot to make sure it stays in place.
Let the glue dry completely according to the instructions on the glue (typically a few hours).
8. Trim Excess Cord
Once the glue is dry, use scissors to trim the excess cord, leaving about 1-2mm of cord beyond the knot.
If you want to hide the knot, you can slide a nearby bead over it.
9. Finish
Inspect your bracelet to ensure the knot is secure, the beads are evenly spaced, and the candy corn charm is properly centered.
Your festive candy corn bracelet is ready to wear!
