Wearing a hidden message or simply a coded form of your name is a lot of fun. I made one for my best pal out of wire coils, beads and chains based on the dots and dashes of Morse code.
That past post also includes the inspiring tutorial which uses knotted cords and long metal tubes. Got lots of seed beads? Then you've got to check out E
rica's version of Morse code bracelets over on Honestly WTF. Seed beads allow for longer messages not just names.
She uses crimp beads to keep sections of beads together. A simple gold bead is used as a closure for these embroidery floss bracelets. This is a good way to deal with multiple bracelets. Otherwise, use conventional beading wire or thin cords (for larger seed beads) and ends of your choice.
The Zulus in South Africa use coded messages in beaded necklaces during courtship. (see past post
African Beadwork : The Romance of Zulu Beads). At least the young men there are not entirely clueless if their intended are angry with them!
