Beadazling!

I love bracelets. They're so simple and can be the perfect touch to a bland outfit.  AND I just LOVE hoarding tons on each arm...sillybands, bangles, beaded bracelets, charm bracelets, you name it... in all the colors of the rainbow!  The only problem with beaded bracelets?  They pop with the wrong shake of a wrist!


I remember this one time, I had this TO DIE FOR bracelet with silver, blue, and white beads in all types of sizes and designs.  Anyway, a certain little brat bee was sitting next to me on my couch while I was typing away on my laptop indulged in the latest Facebook quarrel.  I'm playing around with my new bracelet, slipping it on and off, then I forget about it, laying right on the couch.  I get up and do who knows what.  When I come back the sneaky little girl is staring me straight in the eye with her huge, beady eyes.  A pillow's thrown where I was sitting.  I pick it up without thinking and find my bracelet...popped.  The beads strewn randomly, the string split at it's ends.  Trust me, I was peed off.  Anyway, I re-strung the beads and my bracelet is good as new, with the exception of a different pattern.


Moral of the story?  Keep your beads when bracelets pop.  Collect them, then get some string and make a bracelet of your own!

1.  Start with a popped bracelet and some beads.



2.  Get a pouch, cloth bag, whatever'll work.

3.  Put all of the beads in the pouch.

4.  As they accumulate, you can make new bracelets.
Voila!  Just like that, you've got pieces even better than your fave bracelet!  You can even make a necklace, a forehead band, get creative!
Au Revoir!
