Project Map
Please Note! Bollywood Bracelets were first created back in 2012! Many of the colors and exact styles of the components are no longer available. The linked ingredient list above will bring you to the broad general categories for the ingredients you need, and the shoppable "windows" will include the products you'll want to recreate these stacks in the closest colorway possible.
Blowing in from both the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, high winds storming across India would foreshadow the rainy season. These wind storms were first called Monsoons when the British occupied India. Now the term is used to describe storms of all kinds.
We found inspiration for these bracelets in the wind, water and sky of the landscape. The beauty of this design is in its simplicity; each bracelet is one stitch and one size bead (with the exception of the larger bead used for the tails). And with a mix of a few colors of Chinese Knotting Cord, your eye will find a pleasing path to Nirvana. Be sure to watch the video (open the VIDEO tab above). And the good news is the ingredients will make up to 15 bracelets...so you will have plenty for yourself and to give away. Give in an organza bag and your gifting is complete.
