Charm Bracelets

Do you like charm bracelets?
I do!  I like making them even better.
I've made a couple over the years.
I got an idea make one as a gift.
I didn't want to make a silver or gold one.
Antique bronze seemed to work perfectly.
I found the coolest bracelet and charms on Etsy.
The Porcelain KoKoShei Japanese and Russian Matryoshka 
doll beads came from Italy (Expresso Italiano).
Everything else (bracelets, charms, hardware) came from Smart Parts.
Can you tell the theme is world travel?
The charms include an airplane, Statue of Liberty, 
spinning globe, Eiffel Tower, camera, and passport.
I also added some blue and green ocean jasper beads.
I think they looks like little earth globes.
As you can see, I ended up making four bracelets.
Most of the charms come in packs of four or more.
I have some extra charms and beads to use on other projects.

Have you ever made a charm bracelet?
They're so easy to make and it's fun to search for cute charms.

Have a great weekend!

    Many years ago I had one and filled it with memories of activities.
