It's time to reveal the bracelets I've made for Tracy Statler's Wrapped, Stacked and Layered Challenge, you can read more about this on Tracy's blog http://makebraceletsblog.com/2012/03/15/wrapped-stacked-layered-challenge/.
I have made a mixture of bracelets and have been wearing them all whilst on holiday this week. Two of the bracelets have been upcycled, I covered two plain metal bangles with recycled sari ribbon and then used antique brass wire to wrap fire polished Czech beads, Venetian glass beads and small crystals on to them. I'm especially proud of these!
I also used antique brass wire with a variety of rose quartz and moonstone shapes and chips to make one of the bracelets. I've cheated with the last one because I made it a while ago but it fits perfectly with the colours I've used for the challenge, it has amethyst chips and round beads together with a bling metallic clasp.
Here's the list of participants...a fabulous turnout!

ReplyDeleteI DO love purple so is very appealing to me. I like how you wrapped big crystals onto the sari.... I don't usually do that but it is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove 'em all! Especially the upcycled bangles...did you glue the ribbon on or just held in place with the wire?
ReplyDeleteThanks! The ribbon is held in place with the wire, I've been wearing these bracelets all week and they are quite sturdy!
