Claire Lee from Supply Emporium has a new bracelet pattern called "Cali Ovals Bracelet". You can buy her pattern HERE on Etsy. Claire also has some bead packs available for this bracelet as well as Cali beads. You can also buy Cali beads at Queen City Bead on Etsy, Potomac Bead Company and Red Panda Beads.
The pattern shows how to add a button and loop clasp but I opted to use 8/0 seed beads on the ends and jump rings on mine.
As you can see, I only made five motifs this time because six is too many for my six inch wrist. To make it fit, I added an extra "bridge" on each end as well as an extra jump ring for the clasp. Since I used Toho seed beads to make today's bracelet, they likely made it slightly longer than if I had used Miyuki beads. It remains to be seen if I will need to make any other tweaks to make my two previous bracelets fit because I made both of them with Miyuki seed beads.
Oh Linda I just love the color of those Cali beads. Another fantastic color blend by you. Thanks for sharing
