So, I wanted to make a beaded bracelet today, something nice to wear, you know? I started looking into it and found this brand, Kendra Scott. Apparently, it’s pretty popular, especially with teens, but they also have some fancy stuff that even celebrities wear.
I went for the demi-fine collection because it sounded fancy. They use real stones, which I thought was cool. I saw turquoise necklaces and malachite earrings, and it turns out each stone has its own meaning. I didn’t know that! It felt like I was making something more than just a bracelet.
These beaded bracelets, they’re not just pretty. Turns out, they have some kind of spiritual meaning in different cultures. People used them as money and for healing back in the day. And they last a long time, so I figured it’s a good thing to have.
- First, I chose the beads. I picked some vibrant colors because why not? Life needs a pop of color, right?
- Then, I started stringing them together. It was a bit tricky at first, but I got the hang of it. It felt good, like I was really creating something, you know?
- Next, I made sure it could fit any wrist. They’re adjustable, which is super convenient. I even tried stacking a few together, and it looked pretty cool, not gonna lie.
I did a bit of reading, and they say not to wear them in the shower because of the chemicals in soaps and stuff. Also, the ones that are gold or silver are just plated over brass, so I gotta be careful with those.
Honestly, making this bracelet was a lot more fun than I expected. And I learned a bunch of stuff along the way. Now I have a unique piece that’s not just a bracelet, but also kinda like a story, right?
