My DIY wedding bracelet

[marchswallowbird]

I''m so excited that I was actually able to make this! I am not a "crafty" person at all. I can''t wait to wear it!

Fantastic! I attempted to make some bracelets for my BMs a few months ago and I hate how they came out...I''m so jealous of you crafty ladies!

 

[oobiecoo]

Its beautiful! Did you just find the blingy part at a craftstore or was it a piece of jewelry?

 

[ice-queen]

Sooo pretty! How did you make this!?

I bought the brooch on eBay and the Swarovski pearls, rondelles, the clasp, and the wire at www.artbeads.com. Artbeads also has a video tutorial on how to use crimp beads and a crimper, which I got at Michael's.

There are also vendors on Etsy that make these:
