One of the most fun bracelets to make because you can just go with it! Feeding beads on the cord, randomly, but making sure there is a little coordination to it. Very simple and I love this style! I did unfortunately break this one by getting it caught on something and collected up the beads but haven’t gotten it back together yet. It is on the to-do list.
This set of bracelets was made for a wedding of a friends, and I have to say, it was really fun, and the pics with them were gorgeous! They include bracelets for the bride, of course, the bridesmaids, matron of honor, the flower girl, and the mother of the bride and groom.
I love, love, love this color combo! It was a little tricky getting it twisted and all fastened at the end but worth it!
This is a flat spiral bracelet on the left, made to match the shirt below it. On the right, a couple of those bracelets were made to match the shirt in the picture. One is a flat spiral and the other is a right angle weave. The heart and little squares were purchased. This is the beauty of beadwork, if you know you need something to go with an outfit, instead of spending your time out shopping and looking for that exact look you want, just make it! Don’t get me wrong, I still love to buy jewelry, too, but there is some satisfaction in doing it this way sometimes!
The bracelets above are all flat spiral bracelets. I had so much fun doing these that I now have a stash of beadwork supplies at my fingertips whenever I need it! I need to get busy making more, it’s been a while! I love looking at all the color options for the beads and mixing different sizes to come up with that “special something” that you just fall totally in love with!
I just put these photos up to show you some of the differences in fasteners and patterns. I am always amazed at the talent out there when I go to the bead fairs and look online and see the different ways people put things together! It makes me see just how little talent I have in this area and how much I have to learn, but also, just how far you can go with it!
Decided it was time to organize these little drawers! I used the rolls that my Cricut vinyl comes on but I suppose you could just as easy use paper towel rolls. For the earrings I used the thin cricut board and my husband cut it for me to fit the inside of my drawers which are about 7×9” but you could do it with any fairly small drawers. I saw it done with the sterilite brand little set of three drawers. I glued felt onto the cylinders and drilled holes in the thin boards. Love love love the results!
