Today, instead of studying for finals, I went shopping. Got clothes for graduation (one week away!) and yes, craft supplies. I made two bracelets tonight, neither of which will go with what I'm wearing on my big day, but both of which I will want to wear.
Anyone want to guess my favorite color?
I've had this thing for years...
My mom gave me a bunch of costume jewelry when I was just beginning to make jewelry. I have no idea what this thing used to be, but it inspired me. That chain would totally make an awesome bracelet! So I removed all the 80s bling so that I'd just have the chain. I have ideas for the pink things later on in life.
I used a bead tip to connect the chain with stretchy string. To keep the string in I just knotted it a few times and used a super glue to hold it all together. Better pictures coming soon.
So here's the threaded stuff. I also added a charm that I had laying around, because I feel like they add that special something to crafts. Notice the threaded bead tip.
Finished product! I love that it has the mix of materials, and because the chain is flat it's comfortable to type while wearing (yes, I'm wearing it while typing...) |

I found these green beads at JoAnns when I was home for Spring Break. They're the perfect weight for a bracelet, and the most gorgeous green.
Finals are coming up, and have me stressed out of my gourd. I'm annoyed because I only have one legit test, and it's on the first day of exams. But I guess then I'm pretty much done. And I won a raffle for 20 games of laser tag so the day before graduation Nicole, her boyfriend her brother, her best friend, my brother, and I are going to go to war, boys vs. girls style. Nicole told me she's a sniper, so maybe she'll level out my complete inability to play.
