About this design:
I got this idea in the middle of English class and couldn't wait to try it at home. It is ladder stitch, but with metal tube beads instead of cording. I love this bracelet because it looks very trendy, but with a splash of, handmade-simple-quick style. Also, this is my last design I'm entering in the contest. I wish all of you luck with your designs!
Components:
Glass, leather, metal tube beadsAdditional Images:

Nancy Mc says:Wow Lauren. I agree with Becky. You really are getting better with every design. This idea popped into your head,without a book or picture? That’s unreal! It’s very pretty,and the contrast of the rustic wraps on the end,the leather,and pink pearls is very sharp.
