Fruit bracelet
Make your own summer jewellery - redcurrent or cranberries on a silver chain! Decorate in the same way your keyring, flip-flops or a zip on your bag.
Material and tools:
- red beads (plastic or glass) size 5-8mm
- green beads in the shape of diamond
- black or dark brown rocailles beads
- beads in the shape of leaf
- a silver chain
- silver hooks, 30 pieces
- needles with tops about 20 pieces
- a clasp
1 Thread a black bead on the needle
then red and finish with a black one. Cut the extra of the needle
about 5mm off the last bead. Use pliers with round point to twist
the end of the needle into a little hook. Make 12-15 red
redcurrants and 8-10 green ones.
2 Measure the length of the bracelet
around your hand and cut off the extra. Use pliers to widen the
hooks then fix on to the bracelet alternating red redcurrant, a
green one and then a leaf.
3 Fasten the clasps at the ends of
the chain.
More ideas: use the same technique to make a necklace, earrings,
a decoration for your bag or a charm for keyring. Add one or two
„blueberries" to the red beads.
Enjoy different fruit flavours!
