Finally A ‘Proper’ Beaded Rope Bracelet!
After three weeks I have finally managed to complete a proper beaded necklace having skirted around for some time.
It is a simple repeating pattern of three colours.
It was not all plain sailing despite the related tasks. I had to take bits back a fair bit although once I had got into the rhythm it was OK. I really enjoyed doing it and am looking forward to completing another one very soon. I have had some suggestions on Facebook so have some idea of which colours to choose.
I feel that this is a fitting project for the 100th Handmade Monday as it is something I have wanted to do for a long time and so, having finally getting around to it is a bit of an achievement. Not as much as 100 Handmade Monday’s however. Now that is a real landmark. I am so very grateful to everyone on Handmade Monday (especially the host Wendy). There are truly some amazingly talented people who take part in it. When I opened Craftseller Magazine it felt a bit like a Handmade Monday with so many of the participants I ‘know’ through Handmade Monday being featured in it. It really showed me what an amazing group of people it is. All of them so inspiring.
I do hope that this has all inspired you to head over to Handmade Harbour to see for yourself. as always any suggestions (constructive or otherwise) are more than welcome, I really do appreciate all feedback.
Hope you all have a safe and crafty week

Wow, that’s gorgeous! I totally want to make one now.
If you get time, you should!
That’s amazing! Not sure I’d be able to do that but I may well have a try at some point
I think that you could – If I can, you definitely can!
That looks lovely! I love the colour combinations.
Thank you
So lovely! I have made a couple beaded ropes. I just don’t have enough jewelry making experience, or parts to put them all together into a completed piece. :p
Sorry – I do not buy that at all – it is just crochet really and you can do that so there is no excuse really.
That’s so beautiful! really inspiring! I would love to make one too!
They are not hard – promise!
Such a gorgeous piece
And the colours work so well together 
Thank you so much

This looks to intricate, I can only imagine how long it would have taken you to make. Really stunning !
Depends whether you count threading the beads on or not. Neither is hard – I promise. Thank you.
Your bracelet is exquisite, well done. I don’t think I’m up to tackling anything that intricate!
You never know until you try!
Your bracelet is superb…the style, the colours and the composition. Just brilliant. Well done
