Helpful Tips:
What size beads work best for this pea pod friendship bracelet?
To make a two peas in a pod bracelet we recommend using round beads that are between 8mm and 10mm (they make the perfect “pea” size). Make sure the beads are opaque (not see-through), so they look more like real peas and allow the cute little faces to show up. If you want to make a 3 peas in a pod necklace or bracelet, keep the beads the same size and simply adjust the length of the eye pin.
What type of chain should I use for my pea pod bracelet?
A fine jewelry chain (2 to 3 mm) works best for this peas in a pod bracelet, since you want something lightweight but sturdy. You can choose any colour of chain you like: gold, rose gold, silver, or any other colour.
What type of glue works best for making pea pod jewelry?
Hot glue provides a quick and strong hold, especially for attaching the beads securely. It allows the felt to bond almost instantly. But you can also use fabric glue or even tacky glue. With these glues, simply hold the felt together until it stays in place on its own. This DIY peas in a pod bracelet is such a fun project and a sweet way to create a personalized, wearable piece of art. Whether you’re crafting for a special friend, making party favours, or just adding a little whimsy to your jewelry box, this little bracelet is sure to bring smiles all around!
