Handmade Valentine Bling

I have a wrist that is about 7 1/4". Not humongous by any means but not the standard in bracelets that you see in stores. I get frustrated when a gorgeous piece of costume jewelry doesn't fit me. Gorgeous as it may be, I am not into cutting off my circulation. My waistband does enough of that, thank you.

So, to heck with those designers. I will make my own.

Coil bracelets work really well for me and are so much fun to wear. My friend Marge is a jewelry designer so I purchased the items I needed over several weeks (with my Michaels coupons, of course) and went over to her house to make my bracelet.

Thanks to her help (and wire cutters), I was able to make this:

Isn't she pretty!

It took about 1 1/2 hours to make and it wraps around my wrist 5 times. The coil is very springy and beads did, on occasion fly all over the place but, I am pleased with the result. It cost about $10 to make.

Very blingy. Very sexy and very mine.
