🎥 Video Tutorial: Cinnamon Roll Beaded Bracelet

This project began when I was searching for a handmade button to use in a beaded crochet cuff design. I discovered lovely handmade ceramic buttons by Jennifer at Hand Slow Pottery–refer to the Supplies section. As I was developing the design, my husband remarked that the button looked like a cinnamon roll—so the name stuck!

Cinnamon Roll is a fun, elegant, and customizable beaded crochet bracelet. The design features a stretchy band for easy wear—no clasps or closures needed. It utilizes beginner-friendly crochet stitches and simple techniques for adding beads without pre-stringing them.

One of the highlights of this bracelet is the decorative button at its center, which adds charm and personality. You can choose any button, bead, or yarn color that suits your style.

Most of all, I hope you enjoy the process—placing each bead, working each stitch, and watching the bracelet grow. It’s a little reminder that creativity often begins with curiosity and ends with something delightful.
