Having fun. I was looking for help as to how to attach a jump ring and a hook. This project lesson is very clear. Thank you!

Happy New 2017 Rena,
Thank you for this fun tutorial. I see endless possibilities for using the numerous leftover supplies from other projects accumulated over the years. These bracelets will make quick and easy gifts to friends and family. Customizing them for a person/occasion will be the ‘icing in the cake’.
You are a fountain of inspiration and know how. Thank you.

These are absolutely stunning! And I love the tutorial. I don’t wear a lot of jewelry myself, but I do appreciate the artistry in handmade, custom jewelry. I am hoping to do some jewelry making with my step-daughter this summer when she visits.

Well now! Of course, I LOVE this and particularly the sea glass. I have been making my bracelet by tying knots at the end instead of using the wire. I love how you did the wire. Thanks so much for all you do!

Thanks for all the lovely feedback on this project! Mary, if you shoot against a white background you can enhance the whiteness in your photo editing program. We have a lot of jewelry photography tips here on JMJ - and two of the most important (my apologies if you already know these) are to use a tripod instead of holding your camera in your hands; and to turn off your camera flash, lighting your jewelry with natural sunlight or daylight lightbulbs, filtered against the glare. Pam, thanks for asking where these beads and components came from. The coil beads are ones I made (following the little mini-tutorial within this Safari Leather Bracelet tutorial). Most of the other components I've had for many years and now am not sure where they came from. But here's what they are: Copper washers from Harbor Freight which I oxidized with boiled eggs; faux turquoise donuts I've had for years; green seaglass chip on a jump ring; conch shell beads; painted wooden beads with 4mm hole; a tumbled rock on a jump ring; 3 shiny brass soldered rings (you could also substitute jump rings); a cream-colored wooden bead with 4 mm hole; metal tag with jump ring; and an etched agate focal that I call a "tattooed dragon tooth", with a square-ish brass jump ring.

These bracelets are definitely my style!! Where did you purchase most of the beads used in this project?

Rena, as usual — wonderful step by step instructions. As I was looking at this tutorial, I wondered how you got some crisp closeups with white (no) background. Could you provide us with a tutorial on photography? I would really appreciate that. Thanks!
