Rock On Thong DIY Bracelet
From the Blogger: "This Boho-inspired piece is a fun bracelet to wear anywhere! The Tierracast components, mixed with chain and oversized jump rings, provide all the materials for a simple yet interesting design. We have carefully "engineered" this piece to provide just the right amount of "drape" and movement. You can easily change the look of this design by simply changing the metal finish from antique to gold, bright silver, or even copper. You should be able to finish this piece in 1-2 hours."

Hello, I love this design. I think the rock and roll bar clasps overpower the style, but I imagine you could swap those out for something a little thinner right? I could see making these in simple one or two color designs or using an accent bead in certain places to give it a little pop. I have several friends in mind that would love to wear a bracelet like yours. Wonderful idea!
