Continuing my efforts to learn something new, I felted this soft bulky bracelet (tutorial is here, it’s in Russian, but wonderful photos explain all clear enough).

I did not photograph my felting process, but I took a few photos by decorating process.

So… things you need:

• Hand felted bulky bracelet
• Seed beads
• thread and needle

Step 1. First of all, I want to seal and slightly flatten the bracelet. To do that, I take needle and thread and make stitches along the bracelet.

Outside the bracelet the stitches look like little holes; inside they form a continuous strip.

Step 2. Now I take bronze colored seed beads and embroider the bracelet inside all brown strips. The stitches have to be tiny and furtive!

Step 3. Add creamy seed beads at the edges and outside the pink strip.

That’s all! My new handmade bracelet is ready to use!
