Today I tried my hand at making braided wire and bead bracelets and I have to say, it was much simpler than I thought, and pretty cool looking, too!
These are the two I did today, one using "silver" wire and lighter beads, the other using "gold" wire and tiger's eye beads.
Next time (like, tomorrow, since when I get ahold of a new craft, I'm like a dog with a bone!), I'll try the silver with darker beads. I think that will be a dramatic and versatile look.
I love the contrast between the more industrial metal and the delicate beads. I've no doubt the next one (or three) will turn out a little more precise.
Thank heavens for Michael's/Hobby Lobby/AC Moore coupons!
