Gold Layered Bracelet and a Pot of Gold Giveaway

So gold is hot right now.  I’m seeing gold accessories all over the place!  Which ties right into a fun little St. Patrick’s Day theme I have with some fellow bloggers for a great giveaway… it’s a Pot O’ Gold party this week with some fabulous gold projects and a chance to win some cash!  First – let me show you how to make this simple gold layered bracelet!

Gold Layered Bracelet at www.happyhourprojects.com

What you will need:

  • 1mm cotton cord.  You can choose any style, any color.  In fact, 1mm leather would work well too.  You will need about 6 feet for this bracelet.
  • 10mm end caps and clasp.  <– I’m going to link to where I got this (consumercrafts.com), because it’s such a specialty item.  That’s not an affiliate link and I don’t get paid if you decide to buy it, I’m just making it easy for you to find these gold components if you like them.
  • 1.75 inch curved tube beads.  <– Same deal, these are also from consumercrafts.com because I shop there ALL the time, haha.  I used one package.  If you want more bling, you can always use two. ;)
  • Jewelry Glue (I like Aleene’s, but any superglue should work fine)
  • Scissors

First things first, cut about 10 lengths of cord about 6.5 – 7 inches long.  (If you have larger or smaller wrists, aim for the longer or shorter end of that range).  This will look snug for now, but your clasp will add a some length, too.  The set I linked to above adds just over 1/2 inch to the finished bracelet.

Group them all together and to a trial-run, fitting them into your end cap.  You may discover that you need more or less, but it’s better to figure that out before you involve any glue.  When you’ve got the right fit for your end cap, squirt a bit of glue in there.  Then, add one end of all the cords.  I group them together and fit them all in at once.

Once that dries (it should be set enough to work within a minute or two), add your tube beads onto a few strands.  If you find that your cords are beginning to unravel then a tiny dot of glue on the end will work wonders – just ensure that it’s dry before you string your beads.

When you’ve added on your tube beads, arrange the opposite ends of the cords how you like (I like to make sure mine aren’t too twisted), trim up the ends evenly (because you may find some are off by a few mm) and glue on the remaining end cap.

Finally, just add your clasp, and it’s ready for wear!

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
