Ornament Thursday: Brew

So it's Ornament Thursday once again. We're getting close to the holiday season, but since we aren't there yet, my Ornament Thursday post is jewelry-based. Since the theme is brew, and I reside in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, I took the obvious path and created a brew-inspired bracelet. The gals here call it my Amber Bock Bracelet. I used amber and citrine chips for my four-strand bracelet. Four-hole spacer bars keep the strands in cuff formation. Follow along with the step-by-step photos and instructions on the right to create one of your own. (For beading basics, go to our basics section or watch our basics videos.) And now I have something to wear to all the Oktoberfest celebrations (and brewery tours) that we have in Wisconsin this time of year. (Truth is, the brewery tours are held year-round.)

What did the other players in the Ornament Thursday group find for their inspiration? You'll just have to check it out for yourselves!

    I love the fact that you tied your piece into Milwaukee's breweries - what a great take on the theme!
