Hello @diyhub members, happy new month to everyone and i pray this month work out for us all just thesame way we plan for it.
After going about with the days activities, I decided to get busy with my hands by just doing a random bracelet. Making jewelry has always been my passion, it is one way for me to show my creativity. First thing I did was to select the beads from my jewelry box and as I begin, a client called asking if i was at home, i said yes and she said she want to come over to the house. I gave her the home address and within the space of an hour she arrived.
When she arrived home, I was almost half done with the bracelet and I could literally saw how she was gazing at it but I didn't utter a word. She told me she went to the market to get some stuffs for her self and wasn't planning to buy any beads but as she passed by a jewelry store a particular bead had caught her attention and she bought it because it was just so attractive. Permit me to say it was a beauty to behold 😁. she brought the beads for me to make a bracelet and jewelry for her and that's why she had to come to the house to give it to me. As she brought out the beads she had bought from the market truly it deserves the hype she has been giving the bead.
She stayed with me all through the process of making the hand bracelet and when she was about leaving, she asked if the bracelet was for another client but I said no. it's just a random bracelet i decided to craft since I was done with all the house chores and was feeling bored. I saw her smiling and I was like why the smile? She said she liked it from the moment she entered the house and will like to purchase it for her self and that's the major reason she stayed back till I was through with it. Without hesitation, I told her the cost of the bracelet and she did a transfer for it.
As she left the house with the bracelet, a sense of fulfillment rubbed on my face as my just random bracelet brought me an unexpected sales.
For the start of the bracelet, these were the materials I used:
*Black beads
*Crystal/seed beads (I used mixed crystal beads different colors and shapes).
*Fishing line ( elastic)
*Scissor
*Masking tape
PROCEDURES
Firstly, I cut a very lengthy fishing line and divided it into two parts.
Secondly, I tightened the fish line together and use the masking tape to hold it firm to the ground for comfort. after that, I inserted one black bead crossing both lines together i.e i took the left hand line to the right side and the right side line to the left. I again put one small crystal beads each on both lines.
followed by one black bead crossing the lines and going in with one crystal each on both lines again.
when it got to this point, I continued with same process but with the medium sized crystals.
Thirdly, I continued with the same process as step 2 till I got my desired length which after I tight the the line together and cut off the excess line with a scissor.
Thank you for your time, peace 🕊️
