The basic supplies you will need are:

- You’ll want a great selection of colorful pony beads to make your bracelet. THIS rainbow pack is by far my favorite. We’ve had our box of beads for months and still have plenty to use for more bracelets.
- Crimp Cover Pliers: This tool is a must have if you want to create a neat, finished end on your bracelet.
- Elastic: I recommend using 1mm elastic for making beaded bracelets.
- Jewelry Glue: You’ll want to use a dab of glue on your bracelet knots to make sure they are secure. This glue has a thin, fine applicator so you don’t end up with glue everywhere. It’s easy to apply only to the small knot.
- Scissors: any pair of scissors will do, but I really like these for small detail work.
- Crimp Covers: you’ll want to get the 3mm crimp covers. They are a must have for this project if you want to create finished ends on your bracelet that won’t unravel.
