Fun sea-shell bracelet

This year in our Christmas drawing, my son picked my cousin, who is a teenager’s name.  I was really excited to give to a girl so that I could give her something fun that is homemade!

Here’s what I came up with!  I really hope she likes it.  It’s understated though fun especially with all of the colors from these beautiful natural shells.

Sea-Blue Bracelet

      I saw these beautiful sea-blue beads on Saturday while at Michael’s and just had to try making a bracelet that reminds me of the color.  It reminds me of something that one would wear walking along the Caribbean sea or somewhere just as tropical.  This is one of the most flattering colors because of where it is on the color and one of my favorite colors.

Newborn Baby Bracelet

When I made the green bracelet a while ago I cut the cord a little too short so I decided to make an infant bracelet.  The standard size for infants in 4”- 4.5” so I just made it 4”.

Emerald Green Bracelet

So I’ve been dabbling with the idea of making beaded jewelry since I was in community college (about eight years ago) when my good friend Kara was taking a jewelry making class and we would take trips to various shops that sold beads.  About a year ago I saw these green beads that I just fell in love with the color and since they were on clearance

I made this stretch bracelet for an adult.  It’s 7” long which I guess is the standard adult size for a bracelet.
