Stitch Sampler Copper Bracelet with Sandy Frydman

Or you may choose to apply texture to the copper. Finally, you will assemble the components into a bracelet.

Optional materials to bring: Needles, thread and beads (8/1 or 11/1), in your color scheme and size, if desired. Choose embroidery or sewing thread and a needle that will fit through the beads you choose.
