Bangles, Cuffs & Dangles

The bigger the bracelet the better this season. With polymer clay you can add volume without weight. Here is a collection of some bracelets from flickr to get your creative gears turning.

Polymer clay can stand on it’s own as a bangle, in tiles for a large cuff, pair up with other beads, as a focal or dangles.  You can’t go wrong with a little polymer around the wrist.

A few bracelet tutorials:

    I’ve really been in the mood to try and make a few bangles lately - this may be just the push I need! I love #12, especially.

    Me too Lisa! I just love the shape and colors of #10, though I would be thrilled to have anyone of them on my wrist!
