Safety Pin Bracelet
![]() |
What do you do with a bunch of safety pins? |
Why not make a pretty little bangle?
I knew I wanted to make one of these back a couple of years ago when I saw this beautiful bracelet at Thanksgiving Point Gardens gift shop (in Utah). I was floored to discover that something that was in a pricey gift shop was something that would be super easy to make!
Supplies:
- A bunch of medium-size safety pins (about 100-200)
- Beads…very small to medium
- Elastic thread or very low gauge elastic

I used a packet of colored seed beads and some silver spaces in different sizes |

Open up your safety pin and put the beads on it. You can do them all one color or each bead a different color; plan out your pattern |

Make a bunch of beaded safety pins…you should do this along with threading them on the elastic so you know exactly how many to make of each color |

Start threading them on, making sure to alternate tops and bottoms. I also like to put safety pins in between with the beads on the other side, so that way you can have two designs on either side. |

…and here’s the other side. Not too different, but a little. |
These are super easy to make…a little on the timely side though. But they are a great craft to do with kids! Even my two-year-old was helping me put beads on the pins. And I love the way they look and feel!
Great bracelet! I love it!!! Thanks for sharing!

I used to love making these as a child 🙂 Shared here http://siayla.blogspot.ca/2014/01/developmental-benefits-of-beading-and.html
I wish you gave the exact count of beads and safety pins. That would have been great for me. I guess I have challenges without them. 🙂
Cute awesome bracelet gonna try to try it.
Definitely try it! It’s so fun and easy.
How do you keep the elastic from coming off the head of the pin?
