Make a bracelet

ND kindly sent Future Pathways a kit for making a bracelet so that we could show pictures of the process. These are included below, along with instructions for how to make a bracelet.
You will need:

• 21 beads
• 21 different coloured beads or ‘spacers’
• Elastic
• Clear nail varnish
• Scissors 
 
Optional: if you want to add a charm to your bracelet, you will also need a charm, a charm carrier and a jump ring. (A jump ring connects different pieces together, for example it will connect the charm to the charm carrier.)
Beads, elastic and scissors
1 – Start by threading one colour bead onto elastic then another different colour bead.
Elastic with two beads on it.
2 – Repeat this 20 times.
