Autumn set of bracelets with seed beads, facet beads and ribbon
The sun is getting cooler, the leaves on the trees are starting to turn beautiful colors, and you have to put your coat back on when you go outside. Summer is over, and we're getting back into the Christmas spirit! (Okay, me included.) It's fun to make jewelry that suits the season. When I think of autumn, the colors red, brown, orange, ochre, and green come to mind. The colors the leaves on the trees are turning are perfectly typical of autumn. And you can see that in this set:

In this set, I chose warm red, orange, and beige colors. The set consists of three different bracelets.
1. The top bracelet is made of ribbon in festive colors. The ribbon bracelet is made using two ribbon clips. A beautiful way to make ribbon bracelets. And the advantage is: you need very little ribbon, unlike the original ribbon bracelets .
For the top bracelet you will need:

2. The middle bracelet is made with a specific stringing pattern. This is still very new to me, but I really enjoyed doing it! More examples like this will be coming in the future, with different color shades, patterns, and different types of beads.
For this bracelet I used this:
- 12x 4mm brown bicone facet beads
- 12x 4mm orange bicone facet beads
- 12x 4mm red bicone faceted beads
- 53x seed beads cream beige 4mm
- a piece of nylon thread , a lobster clasp and an extension chain
- 2 rings, 2 caps and 2 crimp beads
The bracelet is made with double-strand nylon thread. Want to know how to finish nylon bracelets with a crimp bead and caps? Then check out this page!
I've created a picture showing the threading pattern I used. If you follow this order, you'll get that lovely diagonal stripe effect in the bracelet. I used these colors, but you can certainly use other colors. The effect will remain the same!

3. The bottom bracelet is made of steel wire and features a cute little charm. Sometimes a charm can really complete a jewelry set, and in this case, I thought this red leaf really complemented the set.
I used these beads:
- 30x seed beads white shine
- 6x seed beads cream beige
- 2xgold-colored spacer beads 4mm
- 6x red/yellow crackle glass beads 4mm
- 1x basic intermediate bead with eye
- 1x red leaf charm
- a piece of steel wire
- 2 crimp beads, 2 caps, 3 jump rings, 1 lobster clasp and 1 extension chain
