All the lovely strands of Czech fire polish beads<\/strong> that I’ve received in recent months from my Dollar Bead Bag subscription<\/a> are what got me started on today’s bracelet.<\/p>\n

I knew they would look really pretty together as a multi-strand bracelet.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using a slide\/tube clasp<\/a> keeps the design simple and the focus on the beads. I added in just a few copper spacer beads to fill out the strands and tie all five of them together. The colors were inspired by summer and by the Summer Gypsy Earrings<\/a> I made recently.<\/p>\n

This bracelet has five strands, but add more if you like!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I ended up using three of my strands of Czech fire polish beads: Opaque Red Vintage Bronze Luster, Light Erinite and Crystal Light Beige Luster. These were filled in with some small turquoise nuggets and a strand of frosted orange glass seed beads.<\/p>\n

You may have noticed some larger beads on my work table that I didn’t end up using in the finished bracelet. I had thought when I began to throw a few cute beads onto headpins and make a couple dangles near the clasp, but ended up changing my mind on that.<\/em><\/p>\n

Picture how elegant this bracelet would look<\/strong> with all the strands the exact same beads. Simple and sophisticated. It would also be pretty done in ombr\u00e9 shades.<\/p>\n
