Tonight I am going to share a fun new book and kit called Ultimate Wrap Bracelets by Patrizia Valsecchi and photographer Antonio Attini. This kit comes with beads, buttons, cords, and some charms as well as a cardboard work surface.
I started the first bracelet in the book. It is called "Your First Double Wrap Bracelet." The kit comes with everything except clear nail polish and the beading needle and thread. I wish the kit had these since I was confused a bit about which to chose at the store. However I understand they are not included since the thread can be various colors and leaves the creator the choice of color and material this way. Unfortunately my thread broke part way through and I did not finish it.
The process however is easy and the instructions are very clear. The photographs are very clear as well and help with the process. There are also many ideas for other bracelets. Here are a few of my favorites.
I love the color in this one. It is a five wrap so it would take longer. I also love the addition of the charm and tassel.
The Navajo adds rows of beads. I love the difference in this one and the patterns created as well.
The Camellia uses lace. I love the style. All of these have short instructions to make them. The general way of making the bracelets is the same. Overall this kit is fun and easy. My only wish was it came with the needle and some thread.
