Deco Flourish Bracelet in Purple with Button Loop Toggle cheapest Clasp

This Art Deco bracelet is an extravagant explosion of purples, with subtle pink accents. It's a bracelet made to be seen, perfect for the bare arms of Spring and Summer! It will fit a small to average sized wrist. The flat profile of the bracelet, and the fabric-like drape make it very comfortable to wear! And for a slightly different look, you can reverse the bracelet.

Length: 6 1/2" (fits small to average wrist)
Width: 1 1/4" (wide enough to demand notice!)
Clasp: Czech Cup Button with integral beaded loop
Beads: Three different Czech 2-hole beads--Amos and Tinos Par Puca and IrisDuos--and three different sizes of seed cheapest beads

To make this bracelet, I followed instructions from Potomac Beads by designer Ashley Krzanowski for the Deco Flourish Bracelet, but using different colors. It begins with 2 needles, strung on a length of nylon coated beading thread. The very first thing you string is the Cup Button clasp. Then you proceed down the length of the bracelet using the first hole of the various 2-hole beads, and the size 8 seed beads. When you get to the far end of the bracelet, you add the toggle loop, and then start back down the bracelet, going through the outer holes of the 2-hole beads added in the first row, and adding more size 8 seed beads and the Balloon shaped Amos Par Puca beads. When you get to the end, you reinforce the cup button, by going through with both needles, and then head back down the bracelet one more time, adding the seed beads along the outer edge and the center Amos Par Puca beads. I reinforced the loop one more time when I got to the end, before securing and trimming the thread.

Because the clasp is an integral part of the bracelet, it cannot be lengthened or shortened. If you would like this bracelet in a different length, or colors, send me a Convo and I'll let you know if I can get the supplies I'd need to make it for you.

I was in a Lenten mood when I made this...hence the purples. But it's really all about Spring and Summer, when arms are bare and you can really show off a bracelet. This one is a unique piece--no one else will have exactly the same thing!
