How many bridesmaid bracelets from one 16-inch strand of 3 to 4 mm beads
From a 16 inch strand, 3 mm beads make about 3 clasped bracelets at 6.5 inches or 2 at 7 to 7.5 inches. With 4 mm, plan on 2, sometimes 3 at 6.5 inches if your strand runs high on bead count. Stretch builds generally yield 2. For flat, smooth wear, choose heishi or smooth rondelles. Keep sets uniform with one clasp style or identical elastic and knots.
