This is the 3rd ribbon bracelet I've made in the past year, I call: Loulee's Bracelet which I decided to keep for myself. The bracelet is made with a variety of ribbons in many sizes, along with crystal beads, vintage pearl shell pearl button, rhinestones, pearl garland, and it attaches to your wrist with a silver clasp set which is connected to each end.

This bracelet line was inspired by the early ribbon work jewelry from the turn of the century, mixed with the colors and flair of today. If you love ribbon as a much as I do, then this is the project for you. For inspiration on ribbon and for fashionista swaps visit the sites below:

1. I'm hosting a vintage Tea Time Apron Swap Due June 1

I currently have 5 more I am finishing for an order. I'm making an additional 3 to place in my etsy or ebay store, along with an extra as a sample for a class I am teaching on this, that bracelet will bee tied in place with 4 ribbon strands, more inlays and gems, ribbon flowers, etc.
