Deco Bracelet




With a huge bow to Lisa Kan, and her Bead Romantique book, I altered her Deco Necklace pattern, which called for 5 unit rounds, to 3 unit rounds, and did a simpler clasp. Being mostly wire-challenged, I gave up trying to make decent loops for the amethyst drops ( after breaking two of them!), and hung them on snake-shaped headpins, adding Swar 4mm and Czech roundelles. It was fun and easy to make, and will become a favorite of mine to wear...I just love slinky bracelets!

another star pattern

This site has a few great free beading patterns, and one is another bugle star- a bit more 'pointy' than Lidia's, and I admit her directions are somewhat difficult, but worth the try.

Have fun!
