Shell Charm Bracelet

Jewelry Project

Use suede cord in two shades to create a soft fabric bracelet base

Materials needed
Two coordinating shades of suede cord
Jump rings
Lobster clasp
Fold over cord end crimps
Headpins
Seed beads size 8
Shell discs
Leaf shape beads
3 metal charms

Tips
Use epoxy resin to secure cord end
crimps more securely.
For a more bohemian and eclectic
look, try making an alternative design
from an assortment of random beads
and odd pendants.

Step One
Cut two coordinating shaded of suede cord. Make sure they are considerably longer bracelet
length as you will need some extra length for a knotted pattern. Place the suede cord together
side by side and knot together every 1 ½ inches ( 4cm). When you have your desired bracelet
length cut the suede and place each end into a fold over crimp cord end and grip with flat
nose pliers so that the cord end is secured tightly to the suede.

Step Two
Attach a jump ring to each of the crimp ends and add a lobster clasp to one end. Decorate the
knots with shell discs by attaching jump rings and threading on the shell discs. Add another
jump ring to the knot and using a head pin make a leaf bead charm. Secure end on headpin
by placing on a small seed bead , follow with leaf bead and finish off with another seed bead.
Cut the headpin leaving ¼ inch ( 1cm) of wire and make a loop with round nose pliers. Now
attach this to the jump ring on the knot.

Step Three
Decorate the spaces between the knot with metal charms by using a jump ring.
