Most people (avg sz 6-7), don’t have this problem with bangles. I love bangles and am always jealous when people are looking at them and trying on dozens! My wrist is average but my hand is wide. If you are putting a clasp on instead of making one solid circle, I’d make mostly sz 7, a few size eight, or add a couple of extra o-rings at the clasp so the bracelet can be made a bit smaller or larger.

Bracelet size is measured by the inside of the bracelet, not the actual length. Paracord is thick, that’s why an inch is added when making the bracelet. If your beads are small, like seed beads, it wouldn’t be necessary to add length, especially since you have to figure in the clasp in the total size.

I am not a bead netting expert but adding an inch would be a good starting point. Just keep adding beads and trying it around your wrist till you get too your desired size.

Good luck
