Come relax and renew at the water’s edge with this bright and bold, colorful leather 4-wrap we’re calling Oasis. We think part of what makes it such a departure is the crisp, white leather which the has variety of colors added. Janice made each section in a rainbow of two colors, so as you wrap around your wrist, a watercolor effect is created. She also used 2 finishes of True 2’s (2mm Czech Glass) to give it extra flare, but you could stick with one color….or or go with more than two! This is an afternoon project meant for all skill levels. Please review the free, 15-page PDF Handout, as well as the Project Maps below.
Blue Oasis
Project Map
At a total length of 17 inches, Oasis is a 4-wrap bracelet that will fit most small wrists. Feel free to adapt the length and design to fit loosely on your wrist. Always allow for extra length needed so the leather can overlap as it wraps around. Janice macraméd the True 2’s (2mm Czech Beads) into the pattern by adding a bead into the right stitch and then a bead into the next left stitch so they sit across from each other. To string the True 2’s onto C-Lon, the cord was angle-cut at the tip to make stringing easier. We don’t recommend using white C-Lon on Prairie bracelet that will be worn frequently as it will get dirty rather quickly. Also, white leather requires a bit more care to keep clean.
