Oh yeah, they're coming back!
I've noticed throughout this year that tie dyes seemed to be more popular than ever and I was glad when I came across this article. It's a good read and a great sign that's tie dyes are making a strong come back. Not that they ever went too far away.
Love The Classic Swirl!
I've made quite a few of these this year and they seem to be one of my top sellers! They are so much fun to make and I tend to vary the colors in light and dark versions of this classic swirl. Just thought I'd share this with you. Wear a tie dye and add a little color to your day!Thursday, June 10, 2010
Patriotic Helms Weave Bracelet
Here's a quick tutorial of how I put together my Patriotic Chainmaille Bracelet using the Helms weave. This bracelet is 7.75 inches in length and is .5 inches wide. The nice feature about this bracelet is that it lays flat on your wrist. It is very durable and maintenance free since it's made from 304 stainless steel and coated copper jump rings.Be sure the follow all steps 1 through 9 posted below. It's quite easy to assemble and a lot of fun to wear! Enjoy!

Step 1
Start with 5 of the 14 gauge stainless steel jump rings, close 4 of them and open one of them. Then open one of each of the colored 18 gauge coated copper jump rings in red, silver, and blue.
Step 2
Start with the red opened jump ring, add the 4 closed stainless steel jump rings, and close it. Now add the silver jump ring under the red one and close it. Finish this link by adding the blue jump ring under the silver one and close it.
Step 3
Open a stainless steel jump ring. Place it around the outside of the 3 colored jump rings and close it.
Step 4
Now spread the 2 stainless steel jump rings apart that are on each side of the stainless steel jump ring that you just closed around the colored jump rings. Lay the completed weave flat.
