New Bling

 I found a new love-of-my-life website recently ... and while I have been browsing through the thousands of pages of goodies, I have found many inspirational ideas. This one jumped out at me b/c I had also seen it in Chatelaine magazine a few months ago and had wanted to give it a go then. I must have trashed that magazine, because I've looked through the ones on my shelf and cannot find the article. So I was delighted to find a link HERE to instructions on how to make this bracelet. Sure they are fairly simple, but I always like to read the how-to before trying something new. So I gave it a go, and am pretty pleased with the result !! I used leather instead of string, and silver  hex nuts instead of gold, and I put a lobster clasp & jump rings on instead of tying it on permanently. I can see making many more of these as gifts for friends & family - so let me know if you want one ;)
