I'm seeing these double-wrap bracelets everywhere and decided to make some up and see how they look on the wrist.
Well, I LOVE them! Of course I've now purchased 15 different colours of cording to coordinate with the beads I'm using, and I'm making lampwork bead toggle closures for them. So much fun to make! The beads need to have large enough holes to accommodate at least two passes of the C-Lon cord, plus the needle eye...so gemstones don't work as the drilled holes are too small.
Here are some that I've done recently...
Natural Wood & Leather Chan Luu Inspired Wrap Bracelet with Lampwork Bead Closure
Caramel & Copper Chan Luu Inspired Wrap Bracelet with Floral Lampwork Bead Closure
The added bonus is that they work out to be about 15 1/2" in length for two wraps of the wrist...so they can be worn as a choker-style necklace too!! I love this look.
