I got a bracelet off Etsy recently, and it's so cute! Unfortunately, it's just a bit too small. I'd like to try taking a crack at adding a few beads myself to make it the right size, but I'm not certain what the right type of thread would be to use. I'm going to try getting some Fireline elastic thread, since that seems to be well regarded. But, I'm not sure how big the thread should be. They all seem so small! I'm a little worried I might be getting the wrong thread here. These are amethyst beads, so they're fairly heavy. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Black spinel and light blue zircon with sterling beads to hide the elastic cord knot.

I'm calling this the inverse solitaire gemstone ring - for when you just want to say no.

Just wanted to share my latest crystal creation with my fellow rock nerds 🤓

I spent many hours sourcing each one of these spectacular beads, and then more time designing to make sure each bead fits the gradient and or theme, so they really are a labor of love to create, it’s a good thing I enjoy every step of the process 😜

I love how every bead looks like its own little crystalized dreamt oil painting 🥹

Are you an alashan lover too? Would you rock something like this? Why or why not?

Also, if you have a fave Alashan bracelet, I’d love to see it in the comments!

Today’s piece.
Natural blue stone beads, colorful shell discs, and a ceramic floral centerpiece.
Finished with a glass flower bead on the extender chain.
Spring warmth definitely shaped the mood of this one🌟🌟

Wishing everyone creativity and success.

I've made a few variations of this bracelet, using everything from embroidery thread to crochet thread to (this one) satin rattail and Chinese knitting cors. My first one was meh and wonky with the tension and finishing. Switching to the satin for the flowers made a big difference, and I think I'm settling on this adjustable loop/bead closure as a go-to.

Let me know what you think! And if anyone has suggestions for how to neaten up my finishing, would love tips. This metallic cord is very pretty but it doesn't melt, and fabric glue doesn't work, so I'm using nail polish to keep it from fraying after cutting it but there's got to be a better way.

first bracelets i ever did was in memory of my dog who passed away two years ago. my friend had a huge jewelry box of beads and introduced me to the world of bracelets and keychains.

La première rangée du brick stitch ça ne se fait PAS en brick stitch. Ça se fait au Ladder Stitch, le point échelle. Et si cette rangée est mal faite, tout ce qui vient après fout le camp. J'ai mis du temps à comprendre pourquoi mes tissages partaient de travers.
Faut repasser deux fois dans les perles pour solidifier, c'est pas une suggestion c'est obligatoire. Et changer de fil dès qu'il reste 10 cm, pas quand il en reste 3 et qu'on se retrouve à faire des nœuds au millimètre. Cette vidéo m'a aidé à bien comprendre https://www.perlesandco.com/ressources/ft37182-apprendre-brick-stitch.html et j'ai refait le bracelet j'adore !

it’s based off the text my crush sent me haha

One side is pastel pink and the other side is pastel purple. Just wanted to create something cute💫💜🩷

I made this sea star inspired bracelet with colorful glass beads and turquoise chips — I love the play of colors✨

✨ Hello! I just dropped a new handmade statement necklace I’m really excited about 🐾💖

It’s a Kawaii Cat Necklace—colorful, beaded, and completely ONE OF A KIND. I only make one version of each design, so once it’s sold, it won’t be restocked.

The charm is a cute pink cat with bright beaded details to match a kawaii / playful aesthetic 🎀
