Camping at the Lake Bracelet

by Ali on 08/04/11

About this design:

Working with just rocks is really fun. It amazes me that you can find these colors lying along the shore of a lake in Idaho. I mixed all the colors and sizes together to create this flowing bracelet, strung it on leather cord and finished with the ever-so-creative Green Girl Studios Nesting Bird Toggle.

What you’ll need: (buy products below)

2 jump rings
1 Green Girl Studios Nesting Bird Toggle
1' Natural Light Brown Round Leather Cord 2mm
4" Hand Dyed Silk Ribbon 7/16"
44 beach stones - combination of charms and pebbles

Additional Images:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

	Step 1: As you string the stones onto the leather, make sure to place a few knots throughout the bracelet. This will keep the stones in place and add some visual interest to the bracelet allowing people to see the leather component.
	Step 2: After everything had been strung and crimped, I tied the ribbon through the loop on crimp cord end on the ring side of the bracelet. I then strung 4 beach stone pebbles and tied it off, creating a collage charm of the stones.

Ali, this bracelet is so lovely — casual, yet it would work well with a “dressy-casual” outfit, too! Love the knots between the groupings of the stones — great idea!

Another great design, Ali !!!!!
And I LOVE the look of the natural stones…. I gather stones from my
hikes in the mountains….. someday, I want to cut and polish them…….

What kind of drill and drill bit did you use to make the holes in the stones?
