Build A Brad Bracelet


I've mentioned several times before that SplitcoastStampers.com is my FAVORITE site for inspiration. Today while browsing online I discovered a thread about making bracelets and found Patty Bennett's site and this post for her Build A Brad Bracelet. I had to try it out right away!


I knew I had an antique brass colored Build A Brad set, so I went to Michael's and purchased some Blue Moon chain, toggles, and charms. I used my retired SU! Ginger Blossoms Designer Series Paper, a 5/8" punch and some jewelry pliers. I think it turned out pretty good for my first try. I wish I could get a better picture, I don't have one of those fancy light boxes and for some reason mine always come out a little dark even though I have a light right there. Oh well, someday I'll figure out the photography!
