🎨 [D.I.Y] 🌷🍃 Bracelet Maker for Embroidery Beads + 1st Practice 🍃🌷 - By: @Tesmoforia.
"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?"

In the middle of 2018, thanks to Pinterest, I knew about a method to make "Bead Jewelry" (bracelets and chokers) using a wooden frame which had several straight nylon strings, parallels to each other and with enough space to work efficiently.
But similar options of those wooden frames on my country were considerably overpriced!, making it difficult for me to get one 💰 💦
I was not going to give up on trying this technique, but I was not going to pay 5 times more of the original cost of one of those wooden frames; so I went to the old trustful solution:
• W O O D E N • B R A C E L E T • M A K E R •
« Handmade »
• Photo by @Tesmoforia, with a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH2.This Wooden Frame was made with wooden boards I got from some construction remaining (I usually store them to make wooden pieces/swords for Cosplay).
• Photo by @Tesmoforia, with a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH2.The nails and other metal pieces were fortunately on my stock of Cosplay and Crafting Supplies.
• Photo by @Tesmoforia, with a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH2.The time to complete my Embroidery Frame was approximately 2 hours, being that I cut the wood with a common hand saw, and then I carefully sand it all borders and sides of the 3 pieces forming it.

• "The result was better than what I expected, the weave is precise and really tense. It’s Marvelous!" - Photo by @Tesmoforia, with a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH2.
• "I used the cheapest beads I had at hand, just in case something would go wrong, that’s why the borders are a bit odd, because some beads are different sized even if they came in the same pack." - Photo by @Tesmoforia, with a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH2.
• "The system of this basic and rustic frame is super effective. I recommended it!" - Photo by @Tesmoforia, with a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH2.• FINAL SIZE OF THE BRACELET MAKER •

• Width - 9 centimeters.
👉 ALSO I’M USING A BRAND NEW IMAGE! 👈
A Talented Graphic Designer and Illustrator Friend designed a precious banner for my blog on the Blockchain besides other Social Networks. I love this cover and precious drawing style he used to illustrate all those elements which are truly meaningful and important to me.
I’m also using brand new separators!, Flaticon will always be one of my favorite allies, but I really feel the need to use customized elements and stop depending on free license elements:
That’s why the talented @Vanuzza with her Designer Superpowers and good taste, made a super set with several customized separators that would look alike my logo.
I’m really happy with this post that has worked as a test for the separators on this occasion; besides I wanted to show my ”Embroidery Frame" since I’m stepping into the lands of crafting using embroidery beads.
• Beautiful thing, precious thing, well done thing! •AT THE SAME TIME, I use this final note to REMIND ALL that from now on all the separators I will use ARE NOT FREE TO USE, which means they can’t be used for third parties for personal use or for their own posts.
I know I’m basically saying the same thing again, but even today there are abusive users who don’t respect others’ property, and they just ignore topics such as "Copyrights".
Even if you visibly include in your credits "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED", still there’s never lacking an idiot user who takes elements you have created and starts using/modifying them in order to earn money, and when you complaint, he will just create idiotic excuses to justify his bad actions and even behave like he knows nothing.
... that "idiot" word sounded significantly bad, right?, well, heavy words which are correct for anyone who doesn’t respect and it’s plainly injudicious óAó

That is so cool to see that you make your own frame to work with. You must be a very determined person :) Girl power!
Your bracelet is beautiful. I'm sure you can make countless patterns when you now have your frame :)
Happy weekend!
I love how you refused to give up on a project just because you couldn't get the right tools at the right price! Well done to you for making your own, that Vincent Van Gogh quote is definitely about you :DD
The bracelet looks so beautiful!
Making your own beading loom was a great idea! Using the thread of the screw to separate the warp is a great idea and looks like it worked well.
I like how your first project is turning out. Great job!
