Description

If you are a beginner and you want to learn how to create beautiful bracelets that you can wear or even sell, you are at the right place. This course will teach you how to create beautiful bracelet projects that you will be happy to wear or to offer as gifts to friends and family. You can even turn your passion into a job and use your creativity to create beautiful pieces that will express your personality and will be admired by everyone. This course is grouped into two parts. The first one is the theoretical part, where you will become familiar with the different types of findings available on the market for the creation of handmade bracelets. I will talk to you about the differences between different findings, to advantages and disadvantages of using a specific type of finding and I will also present details on how they can be attached to your project using the jewelry-making tools. I will make recommendations on the practical use of crimps, clasps, cord ends, jump rings, etc. This part also contains details related to the measurements of different types of bracelets and will help you calculate accurately what the size of your project should be. The second part of this course will deal with the practical aspects of handmade jewelry creation. Here I will show you how to assemble step-by-step the findings you have learned about in the first part of this course in order to create beautiful handmade bracelet projects. I will use porcelain, glass, metal, and leather to create a diversity of bracelets that you will love wearing. Once you have understood how to create these practical projects, you will be able to use your knowledge in order to make your own projects, fitted to your own needs. At the end of this course, you will be able o create not only beautiful bracelets but also anklets, because the main techniques presented in this course also apply to the creation of other jewelry items, such as anklets. The course also includes some useful measurement charts that will help you with the measurements of your bracelets. As a bonus, I added some charts with anklet measurements since many bracelet-making techniques also apply to handmade anklets. Therefore you can apply the knowledge acquired in this course to create a great variety of jewelry items, not just bracelets.
