All the inspiration for this first beaded bouquet collection, which I hope to create annually, has been sent in from the Colors of the Prairie Insiders (aka email newsletter subscribers). Thank you all for taking the time to send me a special bouquet from your life; this has become such a special and creative project for me.
Initially, I wrote this statement about this collection, but this one bracelet has blown up a bit for me, so Iโm going to keep it stocked for a while. I hope you understand (the nature girls like this one, and I greatly appreciate the attention it is giving my small shop): ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ค๐ฐ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ, ๐ข๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ต๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฆ๐ข๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ด๐ช๐จ๐ฏ, ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ค๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐บ ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฆ๐ค๐ฆ๐ด.โฃ
My geocaching gal pal got married on Earth Day last year! She really highlighted the colors found in the landscape. โฃ

Hereโs what Kelsie had to say about her bridal flowers: โAs our lovely photographer was snapping pictures, my fiancรฉe, our son, and our witnesses were climbing rocks, buttes, and clay formations in formalwear. Have you ever tried scaling a bentonite clay slope in a wedding gown? It’s quite the trick! Spotting Bison and herds of Deer, basking in all the solemn beauty of early spring in Theodore Roosevelt National Park with just an intimate group of friends was something I’ll never forget. We eloped as the skies turned to a paler shade of blue and bright bluffs in the distance became a moody haze blending into the setting sun, 6.5 years of choosing each other became a life-long promise to be there for one another, to nourish the life we have built together, and watch it grow. It was a day of celebrating us, celebrating the place we had come to know as our favorite place in North Dakota (Theodore Roosevelt National Park North Unit), and Mother Earth. April 22, Earth Day, and all her colors now have a new and most beautiful meaning to us both.”

Please keep in mind that even though I try my best to keep the spacing even between flowers, I’m not a machine and the spaces are not all perfectly equal. I think this adds to unique-ness and similarity to wild flowers in nature! They don’t grow in straight lines! But if you are unhappy, please let me know ASAP and see my “Happiness Guarantee” down below.
This listing is for 1 adjustable seed bead bracelet on olive green cord with maroon, cream, saffron, and bronze beads.

Each bracelet comes with a Colors of the Prairie logo charm/tag.

Each bracelet adjusts between 5.5 – 10.5 inches (a standard size for this style). If youโd like the string ends to be shorter, they can be re-knotted and burned at the ends. If you have questions – please reach out. Once altered, I wonโt be able to accept them as returns. With a sliding knot closure, this bracelet is adjustable; it may be tight at first, but will wear over time and become easier to slide.โฃ

To adjust your bracelet, please pull on the braided part while pinching the knot – instead of pulling the beaded piece. The braided part is much more durable (3x the string vs 1 piece of string) to withstand getting pulled. This limits the possibility of the bracelet stretching. โฃ

String bracelets can last for years with proper care – and I have been trying my best to find the best, most durable techniques and materials to make these bracelets last. The cord used for my bracelets is waxed polyester string. Yet, this cord is only .5mm thick (to fit the 11/0 seed beads), making it still, unfortunately, possible to break (Iโve had my husband pull in various directions on a new bracelet as hard as he can, and all he can do is stretch it out – so it should take a while for the bracelet to get to โbreakableโ level). I suggest you avoid water if you want to keep this bracelet, beads, and charm(s) in pristine condition. Treat your bracelet gently, removing it before sleeping or any physical activity.

If the bracelet ends up breaking within 7 days or you are not happy with your purchase, please let me know. I will replace the broken bracelet (please include a photo – so that I can learn from the damage) or refund you (if the bracelet is returned in new condition). Please reach out with any questions!โฃ
