A little bit about this project:
7000 Bracelets of Hope is run through the Global Genes Project, a rare disease group for children. The bracelets are donated to the mothers and caretakers of these children, as a way to give them a little support and lift their spirits.
The rules:
- use blue as the main color
- bracelet should be casual
- it should fit anyone from 7" to 9"
This is my finished bracelet. I purposely went simple with this bracelet. From my experience, most non-beaders prefer simplicity in jewelry, and simple is easier to wear.
I really like this purse charm, and hope the woman who receives this likes it too. Since this is supposed to fit a wrist anywhere from 7" to 9" (that is a pretty big range), I used this three circle clasp. The bar can be hooked into any of the circles to fit it to the wrist. If the woman who gets it has a smaller wrist, she can remove the last one or two circles.
Now, I mail my bracelet in and they will give it to someone who needs a boost.
Several other jewelry makers have participated in this project. Check all of the blogs below to see more bracelets.

ReplyDeleteI'm part of a rare disease family that received bracelets a while back. It's great to see you and others participate in the blog hop for 7000 bracelets for hope. I was involved in the blog hop for rare disease day awareness recently. You can see my post about it here, http://intheoldroad.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-other-lifea-rare-story.html. I put a picture of my son, the rare disease patient, wearing his bracelet in the post.
