This Bracelet gives the illusion that it is two bracelets looped together, but it’s actually an intentional look formed by one bracelet! Use some contrasting beads to create a unique bracelet style that makes a strong statement. Please note that this tutorial contains affiliate links.
You’ll need the following tools and materials to make your double loop bracelet:
1: Some beads. I used some tourmaline chip beads for one side of the bracelet and a mix of glass beads for the other side.

5: A clasp. I used a lobster clasp, but a toggle clasp is also suitable. I prefer toggle clasps for bracelets as they are easier to use by yourself.

Follow these steps to make your double loop bracelet.
1: Take one of the strands of wire and add a crimp bead and jump ring to one end.
2: Loop the end of the wire through the jump ring, depending on the thickness of your wire, you might want to loop your wire through twice like I have here.
3: Thread the end of the wire through the crimp bead and squash it in place using the flat nose pliers.
4: Begin adding beads.
5: Continue beading until the strand is long enough to wear as a bracelet.
6: Add another crimp bead to the end of the wire.
7: Loop the end of the wire around the jump ring attached to the other side. Thread the end of the wire through the crimp bead and last few beads and pull it tight.
8: Squash the crimp bead using the flat nose pliers again.
9: Trim the excess wire. Now you will have a beaded circle.
10: Attach the clasp to the jump ring on the beaded circle you just made. It will attach to the jump ring on the second half of the bracelet you are about to make.
10: Repeat steps One to Six for the second half of the bracelet, using your contrasting beads.
11: Once the second half is fully beaded, loop it through the first beaded half you made.
12: Loop the end of the tiger tail wire through the jump ring at the other end like you did for the first half of the bracelet in step seven.
13: Squash the last crimp bead using flat nose pliers and trim the excess wire using cutting pliers.
14: Here’s where you can fold your bracelet in half and close it, attach the ends of the bracelet by clipping the lobster clasp to the jump ring on the other side.
Now your bracelet is ready to wear!
Here’s another version I made using pearl beads.
