NEW...Bracelets for Boys, too!

Usually when I'm designing bracelets, pendants or wine charms, my 6 year old son is somewhere nearby.  He loves to share his "design ideas" with me so I give him string and some beads and let his creative side take over.  And of course, it gives me a little quiet time to work.  To show my love and to thank him for being such a wonderful and sweet kid, I surprised him with this bracelet one day after school.  He loved it and was so excited that I had made him a bracelet!  I was not expecting his overjoyed and grateful reaction, which put a huge smile on my face!  Later, he very astutely suggested I should make more to sell for other boys since he thought it looked "cool".  

 For this bracelet, I used 1mm stretch black cord and wood beads with different tones of brown.  I found in my collection of beads, some great opaque light blue ones that I thought created a nice contrast to the browns, plus gave the bracelet a masculine look.  Lastly, I added his name to make it extra special, but it would look great with only the brown beads and some small color beads for contrast as well.

 If you're looking for a special birthday gift or just a token to say I love you to a sweet boy in your life, you're welcome to visit my Etsy Store for ordering details.  Of course, this bracelet makes a great gift for a beloved little girl too, and I can add a variety of colored contrast beads as detailed in the listing.

 Thanks for visiting and watch for my next post featuring girly-girl bracelets that make great party favors for your little princess and her friends!
