Blue cats eye Stacker bracelets.

Here is another of my stacker bracelets, it consists of three stretch elastic bracelets with a clay rose feature bead.
To make the first bracelet you need to added 33 silver plated 6mm spacer beads onto the stretch elastic, once you have threaded these to make it secure you need to do a surgeons knot. Once you have done this add a little clear nail varnish to secure the knot. Once you have done this you can cut the spare stretch elastic. Then pull one of the beads across so that the knot hides inside the bead.
For the next bracelet you need to do everything the same as above, however you only use 26, 8mm faux pearls.
For the third bracelet again you will need 26, 8mm beads but once you thread on half of the beads you can add the clay rose to the design, then thread on the remaining beads and finish in the same ways as with the other bracelets.
I would love to hear what you think. Until the next post, have a great day :)

MS Awareness Memory Wire Bracelet 

I made this bracelet as the colours are for MS Awareness which is something that is very close to my heart.
To make it you need four wraps of memory wire, 23 white 8mm faux pearls, 23 bronze 8mm faux pearls and 46 Dark navy blue 8mm faux pearls.
The first thing that you need to do is use your round nose pliers to form a stopper, if you do this by going around the round nose pliers until you have about three rounds.
To create the pattern I started with one Bronze pearl, then a white one, followed by 2 of the navy pearls and another white pearl. I then continued with his pattern until you reach the end of the memory wire making sure that you leave about 15mm to create the end, this is done as you did at the beginning of the bracelet.
Any comments that you have I would love to hear from you below :)

Tree of life stacker bracelet.

This is one of my latest makes, it consists of three stretch elastic bracelets with a tree of life charm.
To make the first bracelet you need to added 33 silver plated 6mm spacer beads onto the stretch elastic, once you have threaded these to make it secure you need to do a surgeons knot. Once you have done this add a little clear nail varnish to secure the knot. Once you have done this you can cut the spare stretch elastic. Then pull one of the beads across so that the knot hides inside the bead.
For the next bracelet you need to do everything the same as above, however you only use 26, 8mm faux pearls.
For the third bracelet again you will need 26, 8mm beads but once you thread on half of the beads you can add the charm, then thread on the remaining beads and finish in the same ways as with the other bracelets.
Once you have done that you have completed this lovely set. I hope that you like it,. Feel free to comment with your thoughts.
