[Nfb-krafters-korner] Help from bracelet makers

Terry,
You could use stretch magic cord and thread Christmas colored glass beads
and alternate the bells between the beads.  You would use a size 4mm jump
ring for 6mm bells.  Then all you would need to do is tie a knot in the
stretch cord and trim the ends and hide among the beads.  If you want to
make a bracelet which is more like a charm bracelet, you could maybe
purchase a pre assembled bracelet and then add beads with head pins and
bells with jump rings onto the links of the chain.  I think
consumercrafts.com has the premade bracelets.

I have some questions for anyone who does bracelets, please. I would like to
make Jingle Bell bracelets from my granddaughters for Christmas. Can one
tell me what gauge wire I should use to string the bells? Also can you tell
me what type of closure I should use, example jump rings with lobster claw
or any suggestions. I believed this would be an easy project, I have found
crochet bracelets with bell on it but I am looking for a simple pattern with
bells on wire with maybe a Christmas charm and a simple closure, if anyonce
has any ideas or patterns please let me know. Thanks.

Terry K
