Giraffe Bracelet

When I saw this sweet little giraffe pattern from Tea Benduhn of Milwaukee, WI, I just had to make it.  My 4 year old son, Colvin, loves giraffes.  It's a peyote bracelet using Delica beads (small tubular glass beads) and I altered it to reduce the width by the amount that the ears are now sticking out.  I created the ears with a modified brick stitch. The width of the band is 1 5/16" except for the ears where it is 1 13/16".  The finished length is 7 1/4".  The closure is simply buttons and loops.

Cost:  $70.00 plus shipping
