Celebrate football season in style with a Heishi Bracelet Set representing your favorite team!
Football season is here, and what better way to represent your favorite team than with a custom-made Football Heishi Bracelet Set?! They are so easy for kids of all ages to make, and teens especially love making these right now! Bracelets would also be a unique gift idea for fellow football fans, coaches, and football players (and football moms) that you know.
To make your own Football Heishi Bracelet Set, you will need these supplies:
Start by measuring your wrist and then cut a length of clear elastic jewelry cord one inch longer than your measurement. If you are making the bracelet as a gift, I would recommend cutting 9" of cord to fit a 7"-8" wrist. Pre-stretch the piece of cord a few times. This will help prevent the bracelet from quickly stretching out too much as the bracelet is worn.
Attach a binder clip to one end of the cord. This is totally optional, but I like that it holds tightly to the end of the cord and helps to make it easier to thread the beads on.
There are so many ways to make a football team bracelet set! I'm sharing the ones I made as an example, so feel free to follow along to get the same look, or use these as inspiration to get creative with your own style!
First, I threaded the team name using metallic letter beads onto the cord. Make sure to double-check your spelling and the direction of the letter beads! Next, I added a pattern of 2 black, 2 white, 2 black, and then 3 gray heishi beads. Repeat this pattern about 14 times. You can see what I mean by looking at the Raiders bracelet above.
Carefully remove the binder clip and hold the end of the cord. Knot the ends of the cord together in a tight knot, and then tie it a few more times. For an extra strong hold, pull the knot tight and add a small drop of super glue. Hold the knot tight until the glue dries and then trim the ends.
For the other team bracelet, I put the word "Nation" so that the two together is "Raider Nation". This other bracelet has the same 3 colors of heishi beads, but in a simple 4/4/4 pattern.
When making bracelet sets, I like to make a third accent bracelet to go along with the other two bracelets. For this one, I strung on 3 football beads separated by metallic heishi beads. I filled the rest of the bracelet with silver faceted spacer beads. Easy enough, and it coordinates perfectly!
I love how this set of Raiders-themed bracelets turned out! They are kind of addicting to make, and it was a lot of fun to gift them to a friend of mine who is a huge Raiders fan!
Alright, you Swifties - this one's for you! Football Heishi Bracelet Sets can be made to represent any team! This Chiefs bracelet was made the same way as the second Raiders bracelet, but with red, yellow, and white color scheme instead.
I think this bracelet set for the Kansas City Chiefs is so much fun, and there are so many ways that you can customize these football bracelets! You can add number beads to represent your favorite player, add names for your kids who play football, and so much more!

I’m not a Swifties. We love Kansas City Chiefs. I am sure many young kids like them because of her. Great bracelets!
