In college, as a newish beader, I picked up a pamphlet with instructions to make different styles of daisy chain bracelets. I made a bunch, using size 11 beads and nymo thread, and wore them a lot, and eventually I stopped wearing them because the thread got loose and they felt fragile.
Last week I decided to remake them, with size 8 beads and fireline, for a sturdier and chunkier look.
Here are the old ones:
I have a mixed-media surface onto which I've been sewing beaded scraps, failed experiments, and false starts. I'll add these to that project.
What a lovely idea to remake some of your favourite bracelets. And to use the old ones as a decoration too.
