by: Christine ~how-to-make-jewelryAs a very general guideline, here are the average bracelet sizes for children:

 

    • NewBorn – 4 inches
    • 3-6 Month – 4.5 inches
    • 7-12 Month – 4.75 inches
    • 12-24 Month – 5 inches
    • 2 Years – 5.25 inches
    • 3 Years – 5.5 inches
    • 4-5 Years – 5.75 inches
    • 6-7 Years – 6 inches
    • 8-9 Years – 6.25 inches
    • 10-11 Years -6.5 inches
    • 12-13 Years – 6.75 inches
    • 14 Years to Young Adult – 7 inches


Of course, all children are different so it’s best to measure the wrist of the child and go from there. If you are making a beaded (strung) bracelet, adding an extender chain will give them some growing room.


Here’s how to make a child’s bracelet measurement: Measure the child’s wrist, then add about a 1/4 inch for small sized beads, and about a half inch for medium sized beads. If you need a really accurate sizing for the bracelet, you might want to use a bracelet measuring tool like the one I made here.
