We have been making bracelets. When my Mom's best friend was up here after Daddy died. Deb taught us how to make bracelets. It was a nice, relaxing way to pass an otherwise stressful time. Naturally we have been knitting too, but bracelets have turned into a quick creative outlet, so we've added them to our list of crafts.
R made this one out of some gem chips (I think that's what they are called) that we got from the rock and mineral show last year.
R made this one using Deb's stash while we were in Florida. The beads that look black have sparkles in them. So pretty.
I found these clay beads at Michaels and thought I would do something with them. I think it turned out pretty good!
I made this one in Florida with Deb's stash. Kind of springy looking.
This was my first one. I like the silver hearts.
Like my pink shoes? They decided to peek into the picture!
This is my ladybug bracelet. I really like this one.
R made this one. My sister sent the pretty blue beats in the 'box o' crap' that she mailed to us. I thought it turned out very nice.
R picked out these clay beads when I picked out the shell clay beads. She said it reminded her of quilt blocks. I really like this one. Well, hey, I like them all!
I made this one in Florida using Deb's stash. She had one just like it and I really liked it. I thought it would look good with jeans. It does. It gets a whole lot of wear.
I made this one Saturday night. The little sun charm is so cute. I didn't mean to have so much silver, but it looks okay.
R made this one from some beads in her stash. Fancy smancy!

We used magnetic clasps for all of them. I ordered them from a lady on ebay and man, she is FAST! I ordered them on Friday night - late - and they got here this morning! Unbelievable! She will get a good review from me! The only problem with the magnetic clasps is you can't wear them near the computer, if you have a pace maker or if you are pregnant. The computer is my only problem there - so I'm careful. One morning I got the toaster out and was stuck to it for a second! Oh - and if you are wearing a watch, wear it on the other hand. I guess it could mess with the insides of your watch.

Very nice jewels. Nice use of the box o' crap.
Wow -- great bracelets! I especially like the one with the ladybugs, the clay bead one and the one right below it made from Deb's stash. Isn't it fun to have a new hobby???
