The Joshua Bracelet Kit

Harken back to the 80s with this fun, neon chevron pattern. It’s simple, but bold, and much easier to wear than that bright green unitard you have in the back of your closet. Instead of a clasp, the beaded piece is finished on a brass cuff lined with ultra suede. The cuff can be adjusted to fit most wrist sizes.

Originally, the piece was designed for a live beading party with the wonderful Sara Oehler from SoftFlex Company. (You can find the live beading party recording here.) Not long after the party, Sara’s husband Joshua was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. With her permission, we decided to make this project into a kit and a fundraiser for Sara and her family during this incredibly difficult time. $10 from the sale of each kit will go directly to Sara and her family.

Updates on Joshua’s condition and a link to the family’s direct GoFundMe can be found here.

This project is part of our Flying Start Tutorial Series.
