Duration: 3 hours (open house)
Ages: All ages, but under 8 will need adult assistance

We’ve been having fun experimenting at our Bead Bar, and our latest obsession is fidget bracelets. The first time we started to see these pop up online, we new we had to try it. We use a combination of small and large beads to create these cool jewelry pieces, where the large beads slide along the bracelet for a fun effect. These bracelets aren’t just for kids — everyone who sees them can’t help but play with them. And they add a fun and colorful pop to your spring accessories. Not a jewelry lover? Make bag or backpack charms.
Join us for an open studio afternoon during the Locally Crafted Makers Market and we’ll show you our tricks for making a stack of these fun and interactive bracelets.
We’ll provide:
Our favorite stretchy elastic.
Small beads for creating the base of your bracelet.
Large-hole beads to create the sliding effect. Rainbows, stars, hearts, sports balls and more!
Giant safety pins and other keychain hardware if you want to try making a fidget charm to attach to a bag or backpack.
Instructions and inspiration!
Because some of the beads are quite small, kids under 8 should be accompanied by an adult to assist in beading. They’ll love adding the larger beads to create the fidget effect. Make it a team effort!
