Fat Tuesday Bracelet Tutorial

Created by: Tiffany White

Designer Tips
Assemble all glass, brass and pearl beads on head pins. (Use round glass beads or Swarovski crystal beads, or both.) Secure with wrapped loops.

Attach all charms to round brass jump rings.

Attach charms and bead dangles to bracelet one at a time using oval jump rings:
Place two brass dangles on an oval jump ring.
On the next jump ring place one of each color glass dangles.
On the next link, place one brass dangle and one fleur-de-lis charm.
Repeat pattern until complete.

Finish with toggle clasp.

For coordinating earrings, see Mardi Gras Earrings. There is no coordinating necklace, since your neck will already be adorned with Mardi Gras beads!
