It's always fun to see where your creativity will take you when designing jewelry. Cynthia used unique beads in each of these bracelets, for fun styles that stand out. One bracelet pairs Czech glass flowers and drops, while the other bracelet mixes Dakota Stones beads with TierraCast tubes and crystal pearls. Learn Cynthia's design process for making bracelets like these in this Artbeads Cafe episode.

Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities.

Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
