If you want, you can take a look at my photo of #10994 to see an example of what a finished normal bracelet with letter beads can look like.

Basically I left a hole with two loose strings while knotting, I put the beads onto the loose strings and continued knotting after the beads. Not much advice I can give unfortunately.

@halokiwi That was very helpful, actually! Do you remember if you had to modify the pattern in any way (skipping certain knots where the beads were and knotting around them?)? Thanks again for your help!

Yeah, I definitely skipped some knots. I just did as many knots around the bead as needed, so the bracelet hugged the bead comfortably, if that makes sense.
