Pearl and Rhinestone Leather Bracelet

Bev at Flamingo Toes has come up with another awesome beaded bracelet design!

As with all jewelry designs, you can use new or vintage components or a combination of both.  Vintage rhinestones is my favorite and I have boxes and boxes of components and broken jewelry that I can use for these type of bracelets.  Can't wait to start creating!

I have some ideas for coming up with a different base for the bracelet instead of leather.  Keep checking my blog . . . I'm almost ready to start getting creative again.

Thanks Bev!  You can go to her tutorial for this bracelet here.  Check out the rest of her blog while you are there . . . she is amazingly creative :)
