Cup of Pearls Bracelet

Although I started this bracelet last month while I was visiting family, I didn't finish it until recently.  I had done everything except the closure sections and simply ran out of time.  This is such a pretty design!  I followed the Cup of Pearls Bracelet tutorial by Potomac Beads on Youtube.

I love the deep rich purple color of the pearls in this bracelet.  My tension isn't perfect in a few areas, but it isn't too noticeable and it looks so pretty on my wrist.

The closure is unusual and fits so nicely with the bracelet design.  It involves three loops and three single pearls.  I wasn't sure how well it would hold, but it feels pretty secure.  I want to make earrings to match and will post them on my blog when I get those done.

Don't Stop Growing Bracelet

Here is the second bracelet that I made last month.  I followed the Don't Stop Growing Bracelet tutorial by Potomac Beads on Youtube.  I absolutely loved the lavender colorway and had to make it for myself!

Isn't that a gorgeous design?  My only issue with it is the visible thread on the sides of the RounDuo beads, so next time I would choose to use a gray thread instead of white.

This bracelet also uses a Czech cup button for the clasp.  It looks complicated, but the tutorial was easy to follow.  Check back to see the last bracelet tomorrow!

Forget Me Not Bracelet

I've made three bracelets in the last month.  I was gone most of March to visit family and help out with my newest little grandson, so I took projects with me that didn't require many tools.  I've had the supplies to make this bracelet for well over a year.  It was super easy to make!  I followed the Forget Me Not Bracelet tutorial from Potomac Beads on Youtube.

I actually made it twice, because I made a mistake the first time.  I left out the leaf detail between flowers in one spot.  Although it wasn't super noticeable, I knew it would bother me every time I wore the bracelet, so I chose to remake it.

The bracelet has a simple button closure using a gold Czech cup button.  This design would look so pretty in other colors!

I'll post the other bracelets over the next two days.  My goal this year is to make all the jewelry projects that I've kitted up for myself.  The beads are in labeled bags and ready to go.  I just need to do them!
