Glass Bead Bracelets

This is what I have been fiddling with while I've been watching festive tele!
Bracelets Tree
I have made these bracelets to put away in case there are any craft fayres in the New Year that I am asked to have a stall at. This will be a new venture for me so I want to make sure I have a good stock.

The camera is merciless and I have just noticed a few ends that need trimming before I put them in display bags!

The beads are from assorted sets from Hobbycraft costing about £5 - 6 each  and are threaded on the transparent elastic thread.

The jewellery stand was a gift from my daughter from Convent Garden in September. If you Google "bird tree jewellery stand" in images it does come up, but I am afraid only in black, but I don't see why you couldn't  spray paint it, if you didn't fancy black.

  3. This has got to be one of the best Blogs that I have come across. Extremely interesting and has also given me a lot of inspiration. Please be assured that should I 'lift' one of your ideas I will always give you the credit for the original idea. I do not sell any cards or goods etc - they are purely for myself and family. Happy New Year to you and your family! x

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
