Bracelet made of beads
You can also design a beautiful baby bracelet yourself to commemorate the baptism. For this you need some fine silver wire,advertisementpretty beads, so-called squeeze beadsadvertisementand a silver carabineradvertisementas a closure.
So that you know how much wire you need, it is best to measure the baby’s wrist beforehand. You can add another 1.5 cm to this length so that the tape does not cut in. After you have measured the wire, you can start designing the piece of jewellery.
First you attach a fastener to one end of the wire. To do this, thread the wire through the eyelet of the carabiner and place the short end of the wire on the other wire like a loop. Now string the crimp bead over the two wires that have been put together. The loop should be as small as possible. The crimp bead can now be pressed together with pliers. Now you can start stringing the beads in any way you like. Beautiful are, for example , colorful beads or letter beads,advertisementwhich result in the name of the person to be baptized. When you are finished stringing the beads, the last thing to do is string on the crimp bead. You now put the second carabiner in a loop of the wire. Both pieces of wire are again on top of each other so that the crimp bead can be strung over both. Squeeze firmly with pliers and trim off any protruding ends. The bracelet is ready!
Caution: The baby should be under supervision when wearing the jewelry. Parts can break and then be easily swallowed.
