What are you most proud of?
I think I am most proud of my ability to make jewelry like this and in such a professional stage when I'm not even a teenager. I am also proud that I have such a great friend that shares my business and we make so many beautiful creations together She really inspires me, and so do a lot of my other besties!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?
I would want to give advice that this is one of the simplest bracelets to make - it's just the beginning and ending steps that can be a bit tricky. If this is a little too hard, I suggest staring with regular clasp bracelets. Or, you could try making these bracelets over and over (you can give them to your friends for their birthday/for Christmas or Hanukkah!) and then you can perfect it later.
