The Trippy Stuff says most kandi bracelets fit 8 to 12 letters on standard pony beads, and fewer if you use thicker beads or add charms. So keep phrases short. Your wrist only has so much real estate. Below you'll find phrases to spell in letter beads, personal touches, a few patterns to try, and trading etiquette. Each phrase note says where it was listed, so you can spot the ones more than one source includes. No step-by-step tutorials here, and nothing on where to buy beads.
