Got a Minute? Make Anne's Sparkling Seas Crystal Charm Bracelet We love this idea! So simple and so pretty! Anne took one of our ready-to-wear aqua crystal rondelle bracelets SKU 430.2 and simply added a few of our new sea themed charms with some of our jump rings and came up with this wonderful summertime charm bracelet.

A Few of our Favorite Things Charm Bracelet
One of our newest, most favorite customer requested items is our 1151 Charms Mega Mix. Becky made a nearly instant charm bracelet by using our already assembled chain maille bracelets and attaching a few Mega mix charms with just a few jump rings. There are SO many themed charms in each package - it's easy to whip up a themed bracelet of your own in very little time.

Summer Seas Wrap Bracelet Here's what our friend Shenoa made with some of our   sparkle,  water-color and color-themed sparkling rondelle mix beads on memory wire. Just make a simple loop to finish each end. A great project to share with beginning crafters!



Pop Art Zebra Stretch Bracelet Look what our friend Becky whipped up with our new resin zebra beads and a few chunky lampwork cubes! So cute! These beads also fit well on our 1240Z ball chain necklaces (as do several styles of our new resin beads). See all of our resin beads here:



Coral Sunset Sparkle Bracelet Shenoa took the same bead combination ( our sparkle, water-color and color-themed sparkling rondelle mix beads)  as in the memory wire bracelet above and strung an easy breezy mixture on our add a bead bracelet cuff. Very easy - really pretty!

You can easily add larger holed bead from our 1155 Bali Bead Mix to dress it up.
