Make it Monday :: Wooden Beaded Bracelet

From these photos on Pinterest I was inspired to make a wooden beaded bangle bracelet

What you'll need:
embroidery floss, wooden beads, memory wire, wire cutters, needle nose pliers.


use the needle nose pliers to make a loop at the end of the memory wire.
Slip on your wooden beads in any order, snip the end of the memory wire with your wire cutters leaving enough to make another loop to keep the beads from falling off.
Wrap the floss around a small card to make a little tassel.  Attach the tassel to one of the loops.

Ta Da! Wooden Beaded bangle.

I've been trying to come up with some inspiration to add items to the shop for the fall/winter & I am drawing a blank! It's really frustrating! I don't have too much inspiration but want to make so many things.  I guess I'll just have to go ransack my craft supplies & see what turns out.  I'd like to add some bags to the shop, some jewelry, more art.  But I don't have any inspiration!

Where do you go when you can't get inspired? I see so many things that inspire me to want to make but then when it comes to combining things...I go blank! I just sit & stare at the supplies!  I hope that I get something exciting out of all of this.

None the less, Happy Monday!

  1. I love the beads you chose!
    I hate when I can't get inspired. I tend to reach for a new book or watch a movie to get my mind moving.
