Project and Sample by Emily Miller

This beautiful bracelet is a mix of colors, shapes, and sizes. Picture a berry or briar patch: spiky thorns, leaves and brambles, berries in all stages from flower to ripeness…just like that patch, this bracelet encompasses all the textures and color found in that complex little bramble!
Fringe is usually the last part of a beaded project, it’s the icing on the cake! But, in this spiky, textured design it's all about the fringe: short, long, and medium…each has a role to play.

A general ingredients list is to the left and easy shopping for specific colors can be done with the Shop Windows above!

Please join us as our worldwide community gathers on YouTube at 10:30am Pacific Time on May 16th, 2018. It’s so much fun to go live with us and bead together! After the live broadcast the video will be available above.

Please note, we no longer carry some of these beads, and have replaced them in this project's Show Windows. There are so many colors in this bracelet, you could go any which way! Use the general categories listed in the Recipe above for help picking replacements or items of your own choice!
