Stack 'em up bracelets...

So when I first started making jewelry about 9 or so years ago one of the first things I wanted to make were bracelets – stretchy ones.  I wanted to make a bunch that would stack up to look like I had a gazillion of them LOL.

So I went to Michaels first and purchased what they had which was a Blue Moon kit of different size beads but it had more small ones (seed beads) then big ones.

I ventured to making and break a bunch.  I say brake because I was still learning how to make them and when I first started I was making them to small so when I would stretch them to put them on beads went flying.

I then as the years would go by I knew I had to teach myself a lot of things and sometimes (as with my crocheting) I learn better with seeing and doing then reading.  So I would research online how to make a better bracelet and discovered that I needed to make sure I had the correct size first.  Geezz!!! I didn’t realize that…basically I had to measure the outside of my hand (around in  a circle) of which then I discovered I was a size 7 for my wrist…yep that measurement determined my wrist size.

I was glad I learned that info because that became so instrumental when someone would want to buy one of my bracelets and they were surprised when I would tell them how to determine their size.

Great info…!!!

So anyway these here I made with the thin stretch band call Stretch Magic .5mm which I purchased at Michaels or AC Moore and the beads I used were from the same place.  However, AC Moore has these great tubes from Beaders Paradise with these 6/0  & 10/0 Czech Glass Beads that I totally LOVE!!! And especially when they have them on sale.

Embellish them but adding a cute charm to it if you want (I did).  Have fun making these.  Stack them if you want or wear them with other bracelets…it’s all up to you.
