Bracelet Making

  Bracelet making is loads of fun, and so is wearing your creations.  I love that you can admire your own handiwork all day long just by looking down at your wrist. 

I seem to make more pages about bracelets than anything else lately.  This page is sort of a hub page linking to all of my bracelet related information. 

( I haven't finished linking to everything yet, so if you don't see what you're looking for, try using sitesearch.)

How to Size a Bracelet

Figuring out exactly how to size a bracelet properly is really tricky.   I still struggle with it even though I have lots of experience!  I made myself a bracelet sizer tool to help me out.
