I’m retiring this beaded bracelet kit. I designed it in 2011 and it originally came with a handmade bronze metal clay cuff. When I started to have uneven firing in my kiln, I began making the clasp using polymer clay, which turned out extremely well! I also used polymer clay for the little square “sequin” components. This bracelet has been so popular over the years, but making the clasp and components and assembling the kits (each kit has Toho seed beads in sixteen different colors, as well as Swarovski Lochrosen crystals) is very time consuming and let’s face it, I’d rather spend my time these days exploring new designs and playing with beads! Aside from this, some of the beads used in the bracelet have been discontinued so I’ve had to find similar alternatives to the colors the tutorial originally called for. The tutorial has recently been updated with new color numbers and it will still be available in my Etsy shop, but say “Goodbye” to the kits. If you want one, order before they are gone…I only four kits left!
