Learn how to make this bold and beautiful blended carrier bracelet, finished off with an elegant 2-strand slide clasp, so it's easy to put on and take off.  This smooth 3-color blend can be positioned on the carrier beads in numerous ways. We show you how to achieve either a reversible design, featuring a blend of different main colors on each side of the bracelet, or a smooth blend of all three colors on each side of the bracelet. Each is lovely, so you might want to try them both.
