Wrapped Stacked & Layered Challenge

I love bracelets. You might remember a few months ago my post on recycling an old trend and making some stacked bracelets for my wrist. (The tutorial is posted there, too. Just in case you needed a few for yourself.)

So when Tracy gave a shout out for participants for an upcoming stacked bracelet challenge on her blog "Make Bracelets" (a great blog, BTW), I jumped in and joined.

The idea was to create a stack of at least three bracelets with at least one made by you. Here is my stack.

Let's dissect this jumble and take a look at what's around my wrist.

I have 6 bracelets in my stack, all made by me except one. Here they are in no particular order.

Wrapped with a pretty clasp.

Czech beads, crystal and freshwater pearls.

Jasper, smokey topaz and brass beads, with a kicky key charm.

Crocheted bracelet with seed beads Czech glass and brass beads.

This one was made by my friend, Bob Burkett from copper wire
Another wrapped one. This one wraps double.
All together.

Closeup of the clasp.

More up close.


So there they are. Check out the list below for more Wrapped, Stacked & Layered posts. Thanks, Tracy for such a fun idea! I can't wait to see what everyone else has in their stacks!
