Getting Started
Step 1: Choose Your Colors
Pick colors that represent different eras of Taylor’s music. For example:
- Debut: Green and white
- Fearless: Gold and yellow
- Speak Now: Purple and pink
- Red: Red and black
- 1989: Blue and white
- Reputation: Black and silver
- Lover: Pastel pink, blue, and purple
- Folklore: Grey and green
- Evermore: Orange and brown
- Midnights: Dark blue and silver
- The Tortured Poets Department: White, black and gold
Step 2: Cut Your Strings
Cut several pieces of embroidery floss about 60-70 cm long. You’ll need at least three strands, but you can use more for a thicker bracelet.
Step 3: Secure Your Strings
Tie a knot at one end of your strings and tape it down to a flat surface or secure it with a clipboard. This keeps your bracelet steady as you work.

Step 4: Start Adding Beads
If you want to add beads or charms, thread them onto the strings before you finish the bracelet. You can use letter beads to spell out favorite lyrics or album titles.
Step 5: Finish Your Bracelet
When your bracelet is the right length, tie a final knot to secure it. Trim any excess string, and you’re done!
