Meteor Shower Bracelet

Few beaded bracelet patterns have as much pop and personality as this Meteor Shower Bracelet. Beaded jewelry doesn't have to be boring to be easy to make, as this festive project shows. This DIY bracelet design takes a simple beaded pattern and adds clusters of colorful glass rondelles between each bead to add some sass and pizzazz. The faceted black beads catch the light each way they turn, giving this bracelet some extra glitz and glitter, and the varied palette of the bead clusters gives it a range of rainbow colors. If you like beading designs and patterns that are elegant but still a bit funky, then this is the jewelry project for you!

Beautiful bracelet and the names were all great! My question is how do you make the "bead drops" that are called for? Thanks for any and all answers.

Beautiful name for a beautiful bracelet. I think it will be very pretty on my wrist. I read the instructions and it's not hard at all. I have everything I need except I want to change the clasp to a magnetic one. If I make something for myself I like to do that since I live alone and my hands aren't as nimble as they use to be.

Thought of another Rainbows in the Storm Fancy Bracelet. and for a more robust or new one for younger groups maybe # 4 Midnights Twilights

Smoke rainbow?

Ebony Starburst

What a beautiful bracelet - I may even attempt to make my first bracelet and I would call it my 'Onyx eyes'. When I first opened this page, the drawing reminded me of eyes and well the black beads of onyx.

I have chosen 6 different names for this bracelet. 1. INTENSE AUTUMN........the season is at its best 2.LICORICE INDULGENCE........looks edible 3.FACETED FOREST.........love the shine 4.AUTUMN EQUINOX........change of seasons 5.AUTUMN KONNECTION....play on words for intermittent fall colours between the black shiny beads 6.The HARVEST........its ready to go out in style

This reminds me of Alice in wonderland ,so why not call it the " Wonderland,Fancy Bracelet ".

the black and colorful beads and the shape does give me a Gypsy feeling, so why "Gypsy bracelet"
