Alpine Meadow Bracelet
A message from Suzanne ~
"The bead colors reminded me of a beautiful Alpine Meadow with wildflowers galore, which is why I used the Daisy Link to connect the colors together. I used 5 of the 6mm Bicones to go between the Daisy Links with a 4mm Quad Heishi on each side of it and put them on an eyepin with a loop on each side. I then created drops with all of the other beads with headpins and making basic loops with a 2mm bead and a 3mm daisy on the end of each one.
I randomly hung the drops from the Daisy Links, using the small oval jumprings, leaving 2 open links opposite each other (to attach to the 6mm bicones). Then I attached the links together, using the small oval jump rings, with the bicones in between. Any "extra" beads I then hung from existing drops or the jumpring connectors. Attach a clasp - and Voilà! The mixture of the bright and antique copper findings and the warm and cool color mix of the beads combines for bright, fun bracelet that you can wear from Spring through Fall."
