Made a bracelet for handcraft assignment for my cousin

in Jewelrylast year

Hello awesome and beautiful people of #Jewelry, hope you are all doing well.
It's a great thing to be alive today and of course another opportunity to create something for the day.
it's was not an easy day as I decided to take a day off from work today in other to help my wife with some clean up in the house and help look after our son as so that she will not be late for school, she's in her finals and need to trade with care to avoid carry over.
Cleaning the house and washing of plates has been my work when I was still a bachelor so it was just my normal job, after cleaning and washing plates, I washing my son's clothes and also made his food and feed him and just as I was feeding him, he slept off and I laid him in the bed.

After I laid him on the bed, I decided to rest and cool off my head for stressing my self all through day long, as I wake up when I heard a nock on the door I opened the door and it was my wife and my cousin sister who visited us as she was coming back from school.
I was surprise to see her because she always visit us mostly on weekends and is on yet weekend so why visiting with her school uniform, some questions was running in my mind is there any problem, so I asked my cousin sister if she was okay, she said yes that she was okay, then I asked her why didn't she go to their house and remove the school uniform before coming to my own house.

That was when she told that they were given an assignment to do handcrafted and she knows that I am the only one that can help her with that. I told her to go home and remove her uniform first then come back and I thought of making her a bracelet.
As soon as she left I started thinking of a design I will make for her that will look good when she present it to their teacher then I started this design I made.

Now I will take us getting the materials.

  • Elastic line
  • Navy blue ball bead
  • Sky blue ball bead
  • 62 Orange colour pearl beads
  • Beads stopper

Proceeding to the making is illustrated below.

Now I cut out 3 elastic line from the main pack, then I brought the navy blue ball bead, then I pass the 3 elastic line through the navy blue ball bead and put a bead stopper to prevent it from falling out. Now I pass 30 of the orange colour pearl bead through each of the 3 elastic line, (Note: each of the 3 elastic line contained 10 of the orange colour pearl beads).

After that, I now cut out another elastic line this time was 1 and pass it through 2 of the orange colour pearl beads which was close to the navy blue ball bead forming 2 elastic line facing right. Now I pass 10 orange colour pearl beads 5 to each side of the elastic line, I then brought the sky blue ball bead and cut out another elastic line and pass it through the elastic line with a bead stopper forming another 2 side part. After that I pass through 11 orange colour pearl beads through each of the two formed elastic line making it 22 for both. Finally I tied it together and then it was set and ready and she tested it and the assignment was done.

I believe their teacher will be amazed for seeing such a thing as a handcraft, and maybe want to do business with me.
