I am still busy with jewelry. Something I just never seem to get tired of! Have three photos to post so will tell you about each one.
Top left: These are bracelets for children and teens that are made with ribbon shoe laces and wood beads. They are a double wrap for smaller wrists. A friend, Cindy, gave me some shoe laces to try and I hope to do that in the next week. It takes a bead with a large hole. The pony beads hole is too large for these laces.
Top right: Bracelet on the left is memory wire with tiny seed beads offset with pink beads. It is a one wrap. If your ankle is small enough, these make cute ankle bracelets. The bracelet on the right is bright pink with smaller light pink crystal beads.
Bottom left: This is the black and white bracelet I mentioned several posts back. It is a four wrap. Notice the chain???? Each chain piece is measured around the wrist when you have the bracelet on. Then I cut the chain and each length is attached to the loop you make when you begin and end the memory wire bracelet. Attach the chain using a jump ring, to a loop. Put a clasp on the other end of that chain. Now, do the same thing at the other loop of the bracelet. You will have a chain at the top and at the bottom of your bracelet. The chain, after you wrap it, connects directly into your jump ring at the loop. Then, do the other the same way. Now, when you look at your bracelet, you will have a chain wrap, then the bead wraps and finish with a chain wrap. Let me know what you think about this??? I tried it on and it's very comfortable and looks good!
Have a great week. My next post will be photos of some flowers and a few of our animals.
Until then - Nana Jan
