Ideas:  Plain braid bracelets

The pieces on this page are no longer available.   If you see an item you like here, I can make something similar depending on the availability of the supplies (yarn, beads, clasps/findings).

I can work with you to custom-design pieces that highlight your favorite colors, to go with an outfit, to fit a color theme (school or team colors, wedding colors, etc.) or follow the  traditional colors of a special occasion like Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, or Valentine's Day.   Let me know if you have a specific length in mind; I can usually produce something that is within  about 1/4- 1/2 inch of a desired length.

A spiral braid without beads can have anywhere from 2 to 9 colors of yarn.   I make two different kinds of spiral plain braid structures, "smooth" and "fluted."   The appearance of the fluting may be subtle or prominent or varied depending on the relative thickness of the yarns used in the braid and the tension put on the yarn during braiding.

  Unless otherwise specified:

• Bracelets are about 7 to 7.5 inches long

• Clasps are magnetic and made of metal 

• The yarn used in the braid is satin yarn or nylon braided yarn.   

• Bracelets are lightweight: on average, a plain bracelet weighs between 1/4 and 1/3 of an ounce.

The pieces were photographed in indirect sunlight; the colors may look different under other types of lighting and depending on the type of device used for viewing.  

Please expect to see some minor imperfections and flaws in hand-crafted jewelry.

Jewelry are not toys and are not for children.
