Step 1: Gather your materials

You will need a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string.

If you're using a string, have a ruler or a straight-edge handy to measure the string.

 

Step 2: Wrap the measuring tool around your wrist

Place the measuring tape or string around your wrist where you want to wear the bracelet. Typically, people wear bracelets just below the wrist bone, but you can choose the placement that is most comfortable for you.

 

Step 3: Snug fit

Ensure that the measuring tool is snug but not too tight. You want it to sit against your skin without compressing it.

Record the Measurement:

If you're using a measuring tape, note the measurement in inches or centimeters.

If you're using a string, mark the point where the string overlaps itself, and then measure the length of the string from the end to the mark using a ruler or a straight edge.

 

Step 4: Adjust for comfort (optional)

Depending on your personal preference, you can add a bit of extra length to your measurement to allow for a comfortable fit. This is especially important if you like your bracelets to dangle a bit. A common rule of thumb is to add 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.3 cm) to your measurement for a comfortable fit.
