Accessories: Crystal and Bugle Bead Bracelet

When it comes to jewelry, I’m definitely a bracelet girl. Some people look great in big statement necklaces, fun earrings or blingy rings. But I love bracelets. I like to layer them and wear several at once – bangles, beads, stones – you name it.

And bracelets are easy to make. One of the easiest ways to make a bracelet is with stretch elastic cording. You could make an armful using any type of bead or stone and keep piling them on your wrist.

For this bracelet, I decided to use a toggle clasp. It will keep the small bugle bead strands from getting tangled and gives the bracelet a more finished look.

Start by creating your strands of beads. I decided on fifteen strands – five for each loop on the clasp. I strung the bugle beads and added one firefly crystal bead to each strand staggering the placement of them.

The Firefly Crystal Beads are so pretty. They’re a rich purple, pink, fuchsia color with a little swirl of moss green in them. I love how they look with the silvery white bugle beads.Here’s a list of the materials that I used for this bracelet:

White Spiral Pipe Glass Beads 2mm*6mm from Wholeport  |  6mm Firefly Crystal Natural Beads from Wholeport  |  Toggle Clasp from Tori Spelling Jewelry

And that’s it. This bracelet is ready to wear.

I received complimentary products from Wholeport to create this project. No further compensation was received. All opinions are mine.
