My Little pretty ones....


These are two new bracelets that I made recently.I've made about 7 and have sold or given them all away, but the one I kept for myself. I love this bracelet. The single one takes about 1.5-2 hours to make and the double bracelet takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to make. But, remember, I'm over 60 years old and I work a little slower than the norm. I found these instruction on Pinterest. The website address to see the video is www.limabeads.com/learning-the-ladder-stitch-t33. If you have trouble finding the site, please let me know.
I used leather cording, which I found at Jo-Anns crafts. I brought 25 yards for 14.00. But, i found a place where I can get 50 yards for 10.00 in a lot of different colors. So far I'm liking the black leather cording best. the other colors stand out so beautifully.
If you make some of these, please send me a photo of it, so I can see what everybody else is doing with this idea. I'm now working on another idea for this, in which i can use a lot of leftover tiny seed beads  that I have been trying to get rid of .
Happy beading everyone !!! Glenda Harris.Artist/Matthew Hoffman.Admin.
