This DIY Zig-Zag Leather Beaded Bracelet Kit makes one adult friendship bracelet for your next crafting project. This kit comes with enough materials to make one (1) standard length (up to a 9" inch) bracelet on your own. The first photo shows the variety of the Picasso seed bead colors I offer and used the Antique Silver colored jump rings. You will be able to pick from any of the 12 Colors in the Mixed Bead Finish and your choice of the 6 twisted jump ring colors to make this kit work for you.
Materials in each kit to make 1 bracelet include:
~ 1 baggie of size 6 Miyuki round seed beads (@75 beads)
~ 1 length of 1mm round leather.
~ 1 baggie of twisted jump rings (70 plated base metal).
~ 1 handmade Marsha Neal Studio ceramic disc bead.

If you are overwhelmed, just think about your metal color choice. Look at the jewelry you wear all the time. What kind of metal is that? Pick the similar metal colored one here.
After purchasing one of my kits and making it, if you find that you really like making this kind of bracelet and want to make more than a few (like lots more), I would suggest that you purchase your materials in bulk at your local bead shop or bead show to help support local small businesses from your area. Or send me an Etsy convo for pricing on purchasing bulk through me direct. Bulk means a larger quantity of a specific color, not lots of little different things.

If you are going at this on your own, try some handmade artisan lampwork beads or maybe some cool buttons you've been collecting to finish off the end of your bracelet. I'm all about finding cool unique things to use in my next jewelry project!
As a cautionary note - this is not a kid project. Beads are small and can look like candy to young kids and pets and should be viewed as a choking hazard. The leather cord is long and can be a strangulation hazard. The plastic baggies are also a choking hazard. So basically - work smart and keep your supplies away from small kids, adults that don't know better, and curious pets.
Thanks and have fun!!!
