Beaded Bracelet

Making the beaded bookmarks yesterday got me in the mood to make more beaded things, so I made myself a bracelet too!

Here are just some close ups of the different charms I made:

I used prettily painted wooden beads and rounded it off with 2 wooden black beads on either side.

I also added a variety of heart and insect metal charms:

And then I made a few smaller dangly-bead combinations:

Left: a gold splashed bead rounded off with 2 black wooden beads.  Centre: a gold painted wooden disk bead attached to a flower-like spacer.  Right: a jasper stone bead rounded off with 2 wooden beads again.

Left: gold painted wooden bead topped with a spacer and black wooden bead.  Right: a pretty volcano bead rounded off with a spacer on each side.

This is one of my favourite bracelets I've made so far. :D

I've had some other favourite bracelets that I made in the past, but I made them with string and they've all broken after wearing them for a while (some sooner than others) - I'm not sure why. :(  So I prefer to make chain bracelets now.  Here are my poor broken ones:

A fun little daisy chain bracelet.

An ocean inspired seed bead bracelet.

I used the cutest little mini sea shells on this one!

A glass pearl & rose bracelet.
