This round features Disk & Loop Bracelets. I'm not much a "gluer" so I wasn't exactly sure what I could do with these bracelets when they first arrived. I found myself loving the warm antiqued texture of the brass disks and decided instead of covering up, I'd use them as an integral element of the design.
With a little wire-wrapping I added my teal branch disk beads in between the brass disks, skipping every other one. After the the disks were added I made dangles of copper pearls, amber disks and crystals on brass headpins and attached them to the alternate loops.
I love the fit of the bracelet too. Rings and Things offers the disk and loop bracelets in a variety of styles and sizes. This bracelet is 8.2" long and just perfect for someone with a larger wrist, which is always a challenge when working with pre-made bracelet forms.

That's a great use for those bracelets, they really are comfortable to wear. R and T will be coming the first week of May. I should put these on my list of maybes.
I like your clever solution. I never trust glue...there seems to be so many possibilities for detaching :)
Heather that is a very unique design, I love the brass showing too.
Love those teal beads of yours, Heather, kudos to you!

this bracelet is TO DIE FOR!!! I was just given the answer of what to do with that strand of funky antique copper teardrop pearls...Some amber, some teal glass, a little brass. Yummy!! Thanks for sharing.
I love that you took an unexpected path for this bracelet. Of course your gorgeous beads are the star of the piece! I must save up some money to buy some of them.
