So, I made these plastic shrink bracelet "beads" (I'm calling them "beads", only because I can't figure out what else to call them).

You can see from the side view that I made them to curve around a wrist. I have had them for a couple months and could never really figure out what I was going to do with them. The couple things I had thought of just didn't work.

I knew I would be able to figure how to make them into a bracelet. Well, the time has come and I have the best idea EVER. But, I can't tell you. You will just have to keep checking back to see what I have done with them. Oh, how I love secrets! He He He :O)

This bracelet is a take off of my other Famous Faces Photo Ribbon bracelets.

I made this Elizabeth Taylor bracelet so it will fit many different size wrist. It's a 6-1/4 bracelet and has a 2-1/2 Extension.

I used a brick stitch with Delica Seed beads and japanese cube beads in shades of black, white and silvers.

It has a sterling silver adjustable clasp.

Every Famous Faces Bracelet comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and will be packages in a beautiful pink gift box.

You can purchase this bracelet or any of my Photo Ribbon and Snapshot bracelets at my Etsy Shop, PinkPoochDesigns.etsy.com

I thought it would be fun to make a bracelet of Lucille Ball in color because of her red hair, hot red lips and beautiful blue eyes.

This bracelets measures 1-5/16" wide and is 7" in length.

Colors include skin tones shades of orange, slate blue, bright red, white and sliver.

Certificates of Authenticity with each of my Photo Ribbon bracelet.

I really do, I want to know who you would like to see on a bracelet. If you have never looked at my shop on Etsy or what I make, please do PinkPoochDesigns.etsy.com. You will see that I mainly make bracelets of older celebrities, like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Bettie Page (One of the first pin-up girls), Elvis and James Dean.


I do also have newer celebrities, Princess Diana, Ellen DeGeneres and Miley Cyrus and there are others.

What I want to know are the older celebrities. I do have a lot of older ones in mind. But, I want your input on this!!

Who do you think would look really nice as one of my Photo Ribbons or Snapshot bracelets?

I made this bracelet for the EBWC, the theme is Fire and flowers.

It also helped me with the urge to get a tattoo but, I'm to scared to do it. So, this was the first thing I thought of tattoo flames. I hope you all like it, I know I had a lot of fun making it.

I'd love to hear feedback about this bracelet, I'm thinking of doing a line of tattoo inspired jewelry.

This an entry for the Etsy Beadweaver Team April Challenge. The theme is Fire and Flowers. Visit the teams blog at: http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/

Voting begin on April 7th.

To see all the challenge entries, type in EBWC at Etsy.com in the Etsy search and visit the Blog.

I feel everyone who makes handcrafted items has a crafting disaster. So, that doesn't leave me out. Last week I was trying to make a new Snapshot bracelet.

I wanted to try a new face, I decided to make May West. Having never tried to bead her before it would be a challenge, as with all the other first time patterns. Most of the time when I'm making a new face the pattern has to be adjusted as you bead, it looks better on paper than it does when beaded. So, this was no different, I must have taken it apart a least 5 times.

Finally I decided just to finish beading it and cross my finger that it would come out like the others did, "GOOD". Well, I was wrong. I don’t think you would look at this one and say, “Oh look it’s May West”, I don’t feel it looks like her.

What do you think, Does it look like her?

So, here is my crafting/beading disaster. I'm only human!!

I have made a new type of bracelet, Snapshot bracelet and I have renamed my other bracelets to Photo Ribbon Bracelets. I have to admit I didn't come up with either name. I asked the Etsy beadweavers team and they helped me with them.

Well, here are 2 of the NEW Snapshot bracelets. I'm working on the third, I hope to have it done today and listed in my Etsy Shop. Take a look and leave a comment on who I should make next!!

I love Princess Diana, she was so elegant. She had grace and beauty.

People Magazine says - "Ten years after her death, Diana, the Princess of Wales, remains as fascinating today as when she was the most photographed woman in the world."


I made this bracelet of Princess Diana out of Delica Seed Beads and stitched it in a peyote stitch. It's in shades of white, black, gray and silver. This Princess Diana bracelet measures 1-3/8 wide and is a 7" bracelet, it will fit a 6" wrist loose and perfect for a 6-1/2" wrist.


I love making these bracelets, I find it relaxing.

But, I need your help, I would love suggestions of different Famous Icons. Who should I make?
