DIY BRAIDED SPIKE BRACELET

I'll show you how do make a braided bracelet with silver cone stud spikes. Ideal for stacking, it is easy and inexpensive to make. You'll need: Black beading wire, 30-40 8mm cone stud spikes, toggle clasp.
Start with 3 strands of beading wire, each 3-4 times the length of the bracelet you are making. Tie a knot. Tape it to a flat surface so it is easier to braid. Start braiding for about an inch. Then start adding the spike beads. Add beads to each lateral strand and keep braiding and adding spikes until you get the desired length. There are some pictures below to show you how exactly I did it. Finish the bracelet with another inch of braided wire and then add your toggle clasp on each side of the bracelet. Remember, you can use different type of beads and hemp cord instead beading wire. You can try being creative!
Good luck :)
