This listing is for our instructions for one of our most popular jewelry kits! We call it Shaggy! Learn to make this versatile weave which is easy to vary and make Unique Earrings, Bracelets, Bangles and Necklaces. These are great for beginner jewelry makers and chainmaillers but also fun for more experienced makers! You need just 2 smooth flat nose pliers to make any of these these.
This tutorial includes 3 pages of full color photos and written instructions for Shaggy Beaded Bracelets, as well as two bonus pages for the Shaggy Pearls bracelet and earrings variation!
When making a bracelet or necklace we use 18 gauge 3.75mm ID jump rings for the "stem" or "core". When making earrings we use 20 gauge 3mm ID jump rings for the "stem" or "core". We use 22 gauge 3mm ID jump rings to hold beads, charms or more jump rings.
