Handmade bracelet. I stich the sequins and beads with gold thread on the fabric.
To make this bracelet I use pieces of suede and old (dutch ?) lace, and pieces of a chane for linking them. My mother in law gave me some years ago a lot of lace, she used to have an antique shop. I always thougt it's a pitty to use it, but for my bracelets it's quite useful. Although, I must say I've thought it about it twice to start cutting into a beautiful piece of lace. After all I'm glad with the result, I have no regrets and the colors are very pretty together too.
It's great to see that something that you have in mind, and when it's done, exactly is what you've expect of it. Just loving doing this.
How to use it ? you turn the bracelet twice around your wrist.
