How interesting are these pieces of jewelry by Peppercotton at Beklina? They’re simply Swarovski and Czech crystals inside mesh tubing. Which actually sounds like a pretty easy DIY, but I’m sure it isn’t…Anyone care to take it on?

Actually I have made a couple like this for gifts and customers, only I used seed beeds.
You can find the mesh tubing in many colors on Etsy and look for crimp clasps or tube end clasps.
I used jewelry epoxy and put some in one of the clasps and put the tubing in, then waited a day to make sure it was good and dry/set and then poured beads in from the open end, then just did the same thing to close it up,laid it straight and let it dry for another couple days and VIOLA cool tube bracelets……I originally used regular clear tubing until I came across this mesh and I thought I was so cool coming up with this idea a few years back and now look….trust me,I didn’t get $189.00 for ’em hehehehehe
I’ll see if I have any pics of them…
Easy,peasy, let us know if you make one

Wow. Thanks so much for the suggestions!! I’m not much of a DIYer but this seems pretty easy – and I really love the idea.
