"Daintyfied" Project 2- Infinity Wrap Bracelet

To infinity and beyond! 

This wrap was made from products within Cousin Corporation's new line, "Daintyfied". The line includes charms, chains, and components that can be mixed and matched to create lightweight, delicate jewelry that can be worn everyday! This collection hits Michaels craft stores August 15th, so look out for it! Also, it will be available on Prima Bead.

I used the Infinity charm seen on the far right.

I also used Cousin Jewelry Basics round crystals, gold jump rings, Cousin beaded chain and a gemstone 4mm round bead.

You know my obsession with stacking bracelets. Pair this rosary-style wrap with a chunky bangle and other bright neon beads for a cohesive look!

To make this wrap, simply take Cousin's Beaded Link Chain in a length 3X the size of your wrist, adding 6mm crystals in even spots along your length of chain. You will have to cut the beaded links and add your own link with this chain, then reconnect. 

For help on creating linked beaded chains, view my Crystal Amulet Necklace tutorial.

With the unfinished ends of chain, simply attach a clasp to one side and the Infinity charm to the other. Add a couple of charms to the other end of the infinity (I used one 6mm crystal, one 4mm gemstone and a blue bead from my linked chain). To wear, simply wrap and clasp at the jumpring!

"Daintyfied" Project 1- Buddha Bangle

Breathe in, breath out. Om. 

This delicate Buddha and dainty Om give a sense of serenity to this simple bangle. This is truly a beginner tutorial, because it takes less than 10 minutes to make, and the materials list is concise. 

I've layered my bangle with some other bracelets for a cool, eclectic look. Get the tutorial on how to make my Sparkle Strands bracelets (green/pink) and Fiesta Bracelet (orange) to complete your own bracelet wardrobe!

This bangle was made from products within Cousin Corporation's new line, "Daintyfied". The line includes charms, chains, and components that can be mixed and matched to create lightweight, delicate jewelry that can be worn everyday! This collection hits Michaels stores August 15th, so look out for it! Also, it will be available on Prima Bead.

I am using the Buddhist charm set and the Bangle Bracelet for this tutorial. I also used 26 gauge Cousin wire and 4mm Cousin Jewelry Basics copper bicones. 

I simply cut a foot piece of wire, and wrapped it around the circular end of the bangle. After about 6 wraps (tight!) I added a bicone, and encased it in a wrap to hold in place. Then, I wrapped about two times with the wire, added another bead, and repeated. I used nine beads total. Wrap six more times with plain wire and cut flush to finish.

I added the Om and Buddha charms to the circle end of the bangle to finish. Voila! 

I decided to only wrap a little bit of crystals to keep the look dainty. Also, asymmetry in jewelry always  looks a little more modern and fresh!

You could easily do this look with any of the Daintyfied charms, and any colored crystals. Try pearls for a classy look, or even gemstone rounds for a bohemian vibe! Super lightweight and great for everyday wear.

You could of course wire wrap the whole bangle if you wanted, the possibilities!

Sparkly and makes a statement!
