Welcome to our quick DIY guide! Inspired by the legendary Sun Wukong from "Black Myth: Wukong," we’re crafting a bracelet that channels the power and spirit of this iconic hero. Using vibrant natural crystals and tube-shaped beads to mimic Wukong’s mighty staff, this bracelet is not only stylish but also a symbol of strength.

Background Story

In "Black Myth: Wukong," the Monkey King wields the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a magical staff that can transform at will. Our bracelet captures this essence with colors and materials reflecting Wukong’s power: yellow tiger’s eye for protection, blue tiger’s eye for clarity, hawk’s eye for insight, and black obsidian for grounding. This meaningful piece is perfect for yourself or as a gift.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Set up a clean, well-lit area. Use a bead mat or cloth to organize your materials and tools for easy access.

 

Step 2: Create the "Ruyi Jingu Bang" Section

This step is crucial and a bit detailed, but don’t worry! With our visual guides and videos guide, you'll find it easy to follow.

🔢 Start Stringing: Thread 2 beads onto your cord. Secure them by tying a knot 3-5 times to ensure they’re firmly in place.

 

✂️ Secure and Trim: Pass the cord through the adjacent hole of the bead. Once secured, trim any excess cord.

 

🔄 Add More Beads: Thread the third bead in the same manner. Repeat this process until you have a total of 6 beads in a row.

 

🔗 Connect the Ends: After stringing the 6 beads, connect the ends of the cord to form a continuous loop. Secure this connection by following the illustrated method to ensure stability.

 

💫 Add a Centerpiece: Place an additional bead in the center of the 6-bead arrangement. This bead can connect to others to create new patterns. Reinforce this centerpiece with extra knots as shown.

 

✂️ Finalize and Trim: Pass the cord back through to reinforce, make any additional knots if needed, and trim any excess cord to complete your "Ruyi Jingu Bang" section.

 

 

Step 3: Beading

Please note that for visual clarity, the initial images use red beads as a reference. The later images will show the actual process of making the Wukong-inspired bracelet with the specific beads and materials. This will help you better understand each step and how the final bracelet should look.

 

 

📏 Prepare Materials: Gather your scissors, crystal thread, and beading needle.

🔄 Fold the Thread: Fold the crystal thread into 4 (or 2 for smaller beads). Attach the needle for threading.

💎String the Beads: Arrange the beads in the desired order. Begin with those that have larger holes to make threading easier and to ensure the knots are hidden effectively.

✂️ Secure the Beads: After stringing, remove the thread from the needle and pull both ends into the loop.

🔧 Adjust the Beads: Move the beads towards the head, adjusting two at a time for even placement as shown.

🔗 Tie Knots: Tie both threads in tight knots 2-3 times. Make sure to pull tight and keep the knots small.

✂️ Trim Excess: Trim any excess thread.

🔍 Hide the Knot: Tuck the knot inside the bead hole to complete your bracelet.

💎Use Quality Materials: Opt for high-quality crystals and beads to ensure both durability and beauty in your bracelet.
