The first step in my 20% project plan was to gather all the materials I would need. I did not end up going to Michael's yet, instead I was gifted some supplies and I found some string, beads and other bracelet making materials throughout my house. I am still not sure if I will have enough to reach my goal of 10-12 bracelets so, I may need to make a trip to Michael's in the future.
The next step was to learn how to actually make the bracelets. In the end, I would like to make both string and beaded bracelets but, I decided to just start with clay beads as I thought it would be easier. I do have a little bit of experience with this but it has been a while so I needed a refresher. Luckily, my friend has a small business where she creates clay bead bracelets and sells them at craft shows. I reached out to her in hopes she could help me with my project, and she did! It didn't take too long for it all to come back to me.
Currently, I have started to work on making the bracelets, but I only have a couple done at the moment. My bracelets I have made up already have meaning to them whether it is through the color or words. I tried to use a lot of pink and yellow representing breast/pediatric cancer, and add inspirational words. My goal coming up is to learn how to make string bracelets in order to add variety to my shop.
