Wooden bracelets

Wooden bracelets are perfect for creating casual, ethnic and eco-style looks. They look beautiful, stylish and quite inexpensive.

Wooden accessories are one of the most ancient types of jewelry.. Today they do not lose their relevance. The desire for simplicity, environmental friendliness, naturalness of everything we touch makes wood one of the most desirable materials.

Bead bracelets. It's simple: wooden beads are assembled on an elastic band. These can be small beads on a long elastic band that wraps around the hand several times. Another model is just beads of any size, assembled on a string in a row.

Beads can be square, oval, "tubes". Bracelets made of long and thin beads collected by a “palisade” look a little more predatory - they perfectly emphasize thin wrists.

One-piece bracelets made on the basis of a wooden blank. It can be round or square, triangular in shape. Their width is also unlimited.

Carved women's bracelets look incredibly elegant. As a rule, such accessories are made by craftsmen by hand - their cost is much higher than beaded bracelets. Such accessories usually gravitate towards ethnic style, fantasy style and fit perfectly into the summer wardrobe.

Wooden decorations can be made independently, for example, popsicle sticks. This is a great idea for children's creativity, although, with certain skills, you can make quite a decent "adult" decoration:

• Clean popsicle sticks should be put in warm water and put on fire. Boil for 15-20 minutes.
• After that, having cooled slightly, the sticks must be gently bent, forming a half ring. You can put them in a wide glass from the inside, pressing against the walls. Let dry.
• After that, the blanks can be removed and painted as you wish. In addition to paints, you can use lace, threads, ribbons and other decor methods.
