This bracelet would work for a man, provided the stones used are "masculine" and large enough to look good on his wrist.

Dawn this is a really good tut, i did try to do a review but its really confusing because it says you have to do 175 words, if you do to many words it wont let you leave the review, if you cut it down and make to little it wont let you leave the review.
So i shall make my comments here. The tut was excellent, it is simple but really effective, it has given me a chance to make my daughter a bracelet that fits her tiny wrists. I used two different size beads and copper wire, i havent moved on to silver wire yet. The clasp was easy to make and very effective especially if you dont have the right kind to hand. The pictures and teaching were concise and to the point.
This is a great tutorial that will allow anyone to use their imagination and move forward with it and i really love it, im going to make myself one of these bracelets.
many thanks
Thank you -- it is good to know that! :) I appreciate the feedback!
My sister really likes the clasp, because you are able to fasten it on yourself, instead of asking for help.
I have made my daughter several bracelets this way myself, as well as for adults.

Is is possible to use square beads instead of round? I love the way this bracelet looks with round beads but wondered about square beads.
I have used square beads and they work fine. You end up with a slightly more square wrap, and it looks great for a man or a woman.

I have also used large barrel shaped beads to make this. Use a dark color for a masculine look.
