Forest Green
Project Map
Forest Green is three beaded wrap bracelets, you can adjust both the designs and lengths to accommodate wrist sizes. The ingredients listed in the SHOP tab will make all 3 bracelets.
In this project the samples measure:
His 1 Wrap: 9-1/4 inches*, which is long for the average man’s wrist. The average wrist size for a man is 8-9 inches. If you’re not sure the wrist size, we recommend keeping your beadwork to a total length of 6-3/4 inches and adding a second button loop to make it adjustable.
Hers 3 Wrap: 21 inches*, which is long enough for the average woman’s wrist of 6-¾ inches. If you’re not sure the wrist size, we recommend keeping your beadwork to a total length of 18 inches and adding a second button loop to make it adjustable.
BFF 2 Wrap: 14 inches*, which is long enough for the average woman’s wrist of 6-¾ inches. If you’re not sure the wrist size, we recommend keeping your beadwork to a total length of 11 inches and adding a second button loop to make it adjustable.
*This measurement is from the middle of the button to where to the end of the button loop. It does not include the tails.
