I have seen this done at michaels with beads that dangle.  They are beads
with hols at one end, not at the center.

I have an idea.  Since bells, usually have the hole at the end, you could
use larger beads and make a stretch bracelet.  When putting on the bells,
put a cluster of 3 bells, this will kind of hide the hole at the top.  I
have sean this done with beads, at Michaels.  
I would use small bells and beads about the size of a pony bead.  You can
even get colored bells, if you want!

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
