Custom Bracelets for Helen

I was asked to make some bracelets for Shawns Mothers friend, Helene. She wanted a 8.1″ bracelet. She loves green and blue (like me).

I made 3 styles of bracelets:

1 = a blue bangle bracelets filled with square glass charms and silver spacers.

2 = a european (pandora) inspired bracelet with clasp with glass round and square bobbles and silver dangle charms (“made with love,” a dolphin and an angel). Also between the bobbles of glass I have flowers, clovers and silver apples.

3 = I made a green bracelet with the clasp and toggle on the ends. I alternated from dark green and lime green glass bobbles with silver spacers in between.

Charm Bracelets Galore

I made these three bracelets on my day off (Sunday). I hardly count Saturday as a day off because I always get home between 5am-8am Saturday and sleep for a few hours then eat then fall asleep playing video games.

This bracelet is similar to the one i made for Oma. (read about it here). Minus the metal punched letters on copper with “O-M-A” on it. I put two bail and chain charms with one that reads “MOM” and the other that is an angel on the back it says “made for an angel” I used glass charms with sterling silver centers and alternated between a glass charm and silver charm.

This bangle bracelet is sterling silver I bought it in a pack of 4 from a craft store. You unscrew the silver ball on the end and add the charms that you like. Its secured on both ends with ‘screw in’ charms that holds the beads in place. I alternated from yellow glass charms and silver charms.

This one reminds me of summer. I just wish if i wore more summery clothes it would feel that way. Its FREEZING outside. Thank Goodness it starts raining at 9pm and we are inside by then. I hate working in the rain. I get more grumpy

This bracelet is made from a sterling silver chain (Don’t know if that is the right term for what it is…) Like the pink one it alternates from silver charm and glass bobble charms. I added some of my new purchases like a rocking horse charm and the snow man.

I think my most favorite silver charm in this bracelet is the little crab with teal jewels on its shell. I ordered that one from this jeweler in Montreal. And my favorite glass bobble charm is two beside the crab which is this light blue with white dots (it reminds me of clouds in the sky).

Hope the person who receives this bracelet will love it as much as I do (Yes like all the other pieces i make I want to keep it)

8 more hours left in the day before i need to sleep. Time to play some video games. Bye

Charm bracelet for the lovely Oma

I made this darling bracelet for my Oma (Shawn’s grandmother) She is such a sweet lady. She has a tiny tiny wrist. This chain bracelet had a heart clasp originally at the end of it, but i thought a clasp is hard to get on for one person, so i put a simple magnetic finding at the end to make it easier for her.

I started with a bronze heart and hammered “O-M-A” on it with my NEW 1/8 steel letter punch set i bought from Princess auto (I love you) Its so adorable. Then I first decided to make her a keychain with a cross but then thought .. yikes i believe i just made her 3 other key chains… So this came idea came.

I had to find colors that were classic like the bronze. I knew i was going to stick with gold So i used a cute pineapple (like the one underthesea where Sponge bob lives) and a starfish. I filled in a light pink bobble every 3-4 beads. There is a pattern… if you take a look closely

I love pandora bracelets, but would never consider buying it because of the cost. Well This is a ‘pandora inspired’ bracelet for the rich at heart but empty pocket type gal. I used some gold and silver charms and some pink glass bobbles. I LOVE THIS its hard to part with this (like all my other works) but there is only 1 Oma,… and thats note my name
