With today's diversity and availability of materials for needlework, making jewelry with your own hands is not only simple, but also very exciting. For a bracelet with patterns in ethnic style, you will need multi-colored felt and mouline thread. I made a bracelet for a white tunic with red embroidery, so I chose felt in three colors - burgundy, brown and white. I picked up the threads in tone.

We measure the circumference of the wrist. The bracelet should not be tight, so we add a few centimeters. I got 20 cm. The bracelet consists of 5 round parts and a clasp. We determine the diameter of the large circles: central - 4 cm, the rest - 3 cm. The rest will go to the clasp. First, draw the circle patterns on paper, and then cut out of felt. Each part needs two, since the main circles will be two-sided and hide all the rough seams inside. Also, the bracelet will turn out more dense.

Now we determine the alternation of colors. The brown circle is central, next to it are white circles, and then burgundy. When the base of the bracelet is ready, cut out circles for jewelry with a smaller diameter. Also different colors.

We fold the bracelet by color and you can proceed to the pattern. We make it with mouline thread. We start with the upper parts so that the purl stitches remain inside.

We come up with any patterns that only come to mind. I mainly have stitches and zigzags.

When all the patterns are finished, we begin to assemble the bracelet. First we fold two pairs of white circles and sew them with a decorative stitch.

Brown and burgundy circles are sewn on top and bottom, as a white circle is sewn into them on the sides.

We make the fastener as follows: from a thin burgundy felt, cut out two identical parts and sew them together. There is one piece of dense white felt, so there will be a slot for a button in it. The burgundy part of the clasp is longer than white.

Sew on the button, make a slot. Felt is good in that it does not scuffle and does not tear, so the slot for the button will not expand. Here is a handmade bracelet:
