What is a good size bead to use for name bracelets

Hi there, I would make each bracelet a uniform 7.5 inches for adults & 5 inches for children then u can add an extender chain to them in case the bracelet receiver has a larger wrist (it is also a good safety idea so they're less likely to lose it). Good sized beads to use r either 4mm or 6mm depending on a) ur budget & b) whether the recipients r adults or children.

It is really up to you, then once u have decided who u r making the bracelets for, u can mock up two, one for children is size & one for adult size, & then work out how many beads u r likely to need.

Hope this helps. x
