This post is for all the moms out there with a stash of old amber necklaces just begging to be made into something new and pretty. Because if you’re anything like me, those necklaces have been gathering dust for half a decade now. Go on and dig the necklaces out of storage – I’m going to show you how easy it is to make a wrap bracelet using the amber beads.

I posted about the bracelets yesterday and I went over all the things I did wrong. I’m not sure if it was helpful information or if I just scared people away. Perhaps it helps to know that I often mess up my craft projects. There is definitely precedent for my agony:

• Making Amber Wrap Bracelets (What NOT To Do)
• My Misadventures with Chalk Paint
• My Favourite New Thing (Work in Progress Wednesday) Okay, nothing bad happened in this post. I just really like the photo of my forlorn daughter hugging the mannequin.

Wow, I can’t believe I never wrote about stabbing a barbed needle clear through my finger while felting a crown on the eve of my daughter’s birthday. I’m talking in one end and out the other. That’s why you should never needle felt a gift at the last minute.

But back to the bracelets. You won’t mess up your bracelets; you’ll be smarter than me. It won’t take you a whole episode (season) of Downton Abby to finish the first one – I’ll bet you can knock off a bracelet in an episode of The Office or less. Although that might really be more of a knitting show. Maybe rug hooking? Whatever, it doesn’t matter.

To make a bracelet, you need to do is gather your supplies — a list is on the next page.
