Bracelets

These are two bracelets I made for my wife. The pics aren't too good, but oh well.

Enjoy!

Thanks,

Very nice!

I see that you have sewn the edges. What did you use for backing the bracelet?

I'm curious how you put on the rinestones , did you glue them?

Thank you Ann. I did not back the bracelets. I simply sewed the edges for looks. My wife wanted pink thread, although I have to admit, it didn't turn out quite as well as I had hoped. Would you recommend backing the bracelet with something? I am super new to this and am open to any and all suggestions.

Jo, The rhinestones are synthetic rivets. You actually have to punch a whole for each one and set them with a rivet punch.

I associate sewn edges with a backing. You don't have to back it with anything, I was wondering, if you had, what you used. I made a memorial bracelet with a rhinestone pair. Having the prongs uncovered bothered me, so I covered just the prongs with an oval of lining leather.
