Frosty Winter Garden Bracelet



Frosty Winter Garden Bracelet
I'd been teaching this fringe bracelet class last year when we got an early ice storm. I remember just feeling awed by the beauty of my summer flower garden cloaked in ice, snow, and frost and seeing the bright winter sun turn the whole of it into a glistening garden. This bracelet was the outcome of that storm's inspiration.

Wow her with this elegant bracelet! It has loads of detail and sparkle ... especially by firelight.(wink) The perfect gift for the sweetie that keeps you warm on frosty nights.

Featuring Swarovski crystals in pale blue and sapphire, crystal clear and with an aurora borealis finish too. I also included lots of 4mm and 6mm Swarovski glass pearls in a snowy white.

There are many Czech glass pressed flowers and leaves - some are clear, some have an irridescent finish, and then there are beads that have a frosted finish.

It's finished with a button and loop clasp. The button is a clear frosted flower with a pretty clear seed bead center.

There are oodles of seed beads that go into the creation of one of these fringe bracelets and about 8 hours of work. Well worth it when they come out as pretty as this one.

This bracelet will fit a 7" - 7-3/4" wrist.

This would even be perfect for a Winter Bride! Something blue is already in the garden!
