The easiest do-it-yourself project, there’s no way I can even justify counting this as a tutorial! But after having so many left over beads from making Eras Tour friendship bracelets (if you know what I am talking about, you are my people!), I decided to make handmade matching Mama and Mini bracelets for me and Olive for Mother’s Day.

I have discovered that not all bracelet making kits are created equal. Some are definitely more geared towards children and look more “tacky” and childlike. This kit from Amazon has 7200 pieces and is actually really well made. I think the small color discs make the bracelet a little more sophisticated than the typical plastic beads. The alphabet letters do not come presorted so you do have to dig a bit to find the letters you need, but that would be my only critique!

Tips and Tricks

for making mama and mini BRACELETS:

  • use a small binder clip to hold the other end of the string so you don’t lose your beads as you go!
  • pre stretch your string prior to adding your beads.
  • Everyone’s wrists are made differently so take your own measurements. But for reference, I needed about 8 inches of string for the “mama” (6 inches around the wrist and an extra two to tie off) and about 7 inches for the “mini”)

And if you prefer to shop over making them yourself, here are a few great options I found:
