Happy weekend, everyone! As promised, here are the ingredients used in my trio of bracelets I started working on and had asked for design input on last week...thanks for the suggestions, one and all! These bracelets were made for my sister, myself, and one of our cousins as part of a little family inside joke...I wanted them to be similar but also different, and I think I succeeded!
Each three-wrap bracelet has almost exactly the same patterning, beads, and design. The major change between all three is that I changed the leather and thread colors for each. In the grey version--since this one is for me, personally-- I shortened the patterns in a couple spots and shortened the second wrap of 6/0s considerably because my wrist is much smaller than an average wrist. I also used Little Shadows in Antique Silver instead of Silver Plate, and I switched the 6/0s in the middle wrap.
Another change, I had to change up my leather tails on the white version, I inadvertently used 1.5mm leather instead of the 1.0 I intended to use, so 6/0s didn't fit on to decorate the tails. I used White C-Lon to make a couple silk wraps around the button hole instead of knots and long tails. The ingredients list below links to all 1mm leathers despite that I used 1.5 on that one, since it was not intentional!

Please note, the ingredients below are enough to net you all three bracelets.
