Free Tip Friday: Family Memories Bracelet

Thanks so much for joining me today on FTF. I simply adored working with Janice's July Monthly Mix called "Family Reunion." Janice says " I named it Family Reunion because all the beads are related and it's summer!" We all just loved it and I couldn't wait to get the party started using this mix... and the Family Memories Bracelet was born!

Memory Wire seemed just the thing to use. I wanted to make a quick, yet eye-cathcing piece. One that you could take on the road and make with family and friends at your own family reunion.

Here is what I used:

1 tube July Monthly Mix, Family Reunion

1 spool .5mm Distressed Denim Indian Leather

1 pkg Coil Spacers, Antique Copper

1 pkg Tierra Heishi, Antique Brass

1 pkg Big Shadows, Brass

1 pkg Happy Donuts, Antique Brass

2 pcs Small Point Charms

1 Zap Glue

1 pkg Bracelet Memory Wire, Copper or color of your choice... the wire doesn't show at all!

Xuron Memory Wire Cutters

Clampers

The finished sample uses the entire tube of beads and the whole length of leather. It makes a 7-coil bracelet.

Check out the video for all of my tips and tricks to make this fun, summer-inspired bracelet. A couple of additional learning links: Memory Wire Basics and How to Macramé. Enjoy!
