Turquoise & Silver Faith Bracelet

Remember a few weeks ago when I shared my goodies from Consumer Crafts?  Well, all the jewelry making tools and beads inspired me to start making jewelry for myself.  I decided to start with some beads that I actually already had.  The reason I had them is that a sweet friend gave them to me {in the form of a bracelet} on my birthday.  Well, my toddler got a hold of it and, well, it kind of exploded.

 Luckily I saved the beads and decided to add my own faith charm that I got from Consumer Crafts to make a 2.0 version of my first turquoise bracelet.

To make your own version, you’ll need:

.5 mm Stretch Magic cord

turquoise beads

silver cross accent

FAITH accent {from Consumer Crafts}

2 white pearls

scissors

Now, like I mentioned, this is my first stab at jewelry making.  I’m guessing I started out pretty much as easy as you can get.  There isn’t a whole lot of technique involved in stringing beads, cutting cord, and tying a knot!

Before I tied the bracelet off, I measured it against my own wrist so as not to have too many or too few beads.  To tie the bracelet, I simply tied a single knot then tied once more, and a third time too.

And voila!

My first bracelet!

I really love the details of the “back” side of it too!

I’m loving my new turquoise & silver faith bracelet.  They have other word options as well: peace, love, and joy.  What would you have chosen?
