Elayne created a few beaded memory wire bracelets and ended up selling them to enthusiastic Facebook Marketplace customers. After that she made three more and displayed them at the American Legion in Bedford MA at her Circles of Light jewelry show the end of 2018. They were purchased by the hostess of the event who called Elayne the next morning for 10 more since her granddaughter wanted 12 for her friends. Since then she has made many more one-of-a-kind bracelets that tend to sell quickly since they are very reflective and inexpensive. Her goal was to use up a lot of her leftover seed beads and charms as well as the small gift boxes she had accumulated from larger gift box purchases. The bracelets shown below are only a few examples of her work - some with and without charms or dangles.
Note: Unlike most beaded bracelets in stores that are 2-strands and made with elastic that eventually fall apart, Elayne's bracelets are made with sturdy unbreakable memory wire and are 3-4 wraps.
