Cousin Slider Bracelet- The Paris Window Box

 Here I am in the middle of an April snowstorm creating the most colorful bracelet!

These DIY slider bracelets are so easy to make.  Cousin sent me a set that included leather, slides and clasps.  They have a how-to video and many samples already on line for you to see.

My metal slide (shown circled) is already pretty, but I wanted to personalize it a little.

So out came a very special box of beads.  This is my stash of beads from Paris.  I buy a little every year from the same vendor in the antique market and I always feel special when I add them to something I am wearing.

 The shape of the slider made me think of a Paris window box.  I wire wrapped my beads in place with some very thin wire.

 Once I was done wire wrapping all I had to do was slide my new metal slide onto the leather and also slide on the two matching smaller components.  I glued on my clasp and waited for everything to be dry.

Isn't if wonderful?  This is the easiest DIY ever!
