Heart Bracelet

Do-It-Yourself Decorating

Bracelet #1

Now let's get back to making jewelry! I think I've covered all the steps for making your own beaded jewelry, so now I'll show you a few hand-made bracelets. The one above is my favorite from all the bracelets I've made. I started with the translucent blue heart beads, and added matching blue ovals. I thought it needed some brighter color accents and the coral pink seemed just the right fit. The interesting shapes of the opaque white beads made a nice filler. I used the clear diamonds to accent the center pink bead. I almost wish now I had used the diamond beads for all the filler beads - it would have been a lighter and more delicate look.
