I found a bracelet pattern that I loved and so I pinned it to my Pinterest board (crafts - jewelry). If you aren't familiar with Pinterest, go on www.pinterest.com and check them out. You can check out lots of boards. I am JG Hickman on there. A board is what you call your 'bulletin board'. It is things you like, vacations you want to take, whatever best fits you. When you post those things, they are opened up and you will get followers who are interested in things you are interested in. They can choose to follow you and all your boards or just you and one or two boards. When you are searching the web or pinterest pages, you can 'pin' what you like and send it to your board.
I use to make copies of everything, now I can just go to my board and pull up what I want. My family follows me and now I have about 10 people who are following me. Some people have 200 or more following their boards. It's free, so check it out.
Now let's get to the bracelet. Photos please:
Top left: I cut a piece of chain that was long enough to cover the back of my wrist. Then I cut the chain in half and added a barrel closure. To the chain, on each end I added an 'outie' portion of the closure.
Top right: I took some bracelet wire and strung enough beads on it to cover the top part of my wrist. I added and 'innie' portion of the barrel clasp to each side. Now the bracelet just hooks together on each side and you're done.
Bottom left: Then I took beads and looped them together to make another bracelet 'top'.
Bottom right: See where this is going? I looped different beads together and made the third bracelet top.
I must prewarn you - this will become a habit instantly! You could make a bracelet for a friend and give it to them along with 7 tops (one for each day of the week).
Special note: It is easy to make the bracelet too big. I forgot to include the length of the barrel closures and had to cut part of the chain.
Have fun and share your pictures with me. Want to see what you have done!!!
