  • Accessorize for Fourth of July With a Red, White and Blue Bracelet

    Independence Day is coming up soon; this year, it’ll happen on Tuesday, July 4, 2023. If you’re hoping to make some fun craft projects to celebrate this holiday, one of the things you might want to plan on is creating some fun wearable accessories ahead of time, so you can wear them out to whichever picnics, barbecues, parties or fireworks festivities you plan on attending.

    You can make this simple-but-lovely bracelet using metallic floss and round glass beads. If you’ve never crocheted with beads before, this bracelet is a fantastic introduction to the technique; it’s a quick project that proves that bead crochet does not have to be difficult, despite what you may have heard to the contrary.

    For those of you in the USA, this bracelet is an ideal way to accessorize for patriotic holidays such as the Fourth of July. It’s a fabulous everyday accessory as well; you could make it for Fourth of July and then wear it whenever you’re dressing in red or blue in the days following.
