Here’s why they shine at the shore:
-
They dry quickly and don't get weighed down like metal jewelry.
-
No tools required, just a beading kit and your imagination.
-
They stack like a dream for that effortless arm candy look.
-
They’re low-stakes bling: no panic if you misplace one while collecting seashells.
Top DIY Beaded Bracelet Ideas for Your Beach Trip
These bracelet ideas are inspired by everything coastal, think sun-washed colors, shell charms, and breezy turquoise hues. All of them can be created with Jewelry Made By Me’s beaded bracelet kits.
1. Shells & Shine: Coastal Charm Bracelet
Use shell-shaped beads, gold accents, and soft pinks or whites to make a charm-style bracelet that evokes the sea breeze. Mix in letter beads to spell out "BEACH", "SALTY", or even your destination (e.g., “Maui”).
Pro Tip: Jewelry Made By Me’s Coastal Cowgirl kits include cowrie shells and pastel pearls for that sun-kissed look.
2. Ocean Blues Stretch Bracelet
Layer shades of blue, from deep navy to seafoam green, to mimic the ocean waves. Use glass seed beads or pearls for texture and pop a silver dolphin or wave charm in the center.
Bonus: Stretch cord means you can easily take it on and off while tanning.
3. Sunset Stackables
Think coral, peach, and golden hues, just like a beach sunset. Use tiny beads and make 3–5 thin bracelets to wear as a stack. Add a star or cactus charm to play into the Cowgirl vibe.
Styling Tip: Stack with denim shorts and a white button-up for the perfect Coastal Cowgirl ensemble.
4. Letter Love Bracelets
Spell out your name, your beach destination, or a fun phrase like “SALTY BABE” or “COWGIRL VIBES.” These are super on-trend and let you personalize your look.
Made Easy: The Jewelry Made By Me kits include letter beads and beach-themed charms, so you don’t need to shop around.
5. Turquoise Treasure Bracelet
Turquoise is a must-have in any Cowgirl aesthetic. Create a bracelet with alternating turquoise beads and small silver or bronze spacer beads. It gives a Southwestern feel that pairs beautifully with sandy surroundings.
Pair it With: Straw hats, leather sandals, and an oversized beach tote.
