Quick Project Steps

All aboard the beading express! You’ll love the flexibility of this Box Car bracelet. The 3D look of the beads creates the illusion of a tiny train car hauling around your wrist. It’s a fun and unique bracelet that’s sure to be a conversation starter.
1. Using a size 10 beading needle, add a stop bead to the end of your thread leaving about 2 inches. Add 26 seed beads and then go back through all of them to reinforce and form a loop. Make sure the loop fits the button you are using.
2. Follow Allie’s step-by-step directions in the Box Car bracelet tutorial to create the length of the bracelet.
3. Add the cup button at the end using seed beads to anchor it. Tie a knot. Put the needle back on the starter end and thread through the connection point again and tie of. Use super glue to dab the knots.
The Box Car bracelet is a fun accessory that is great for everyday wear. It would make a nice gift for a friend. They’ll appreciate the time and effort you put into making them something special.
