Plaited Bracelet: Straw bracelets are fun to wear and can be made with a variety of plaits. This bracelet is beautifully made using the tallest straw from the field ~ six exceptionally long straws without the wheat heads. The six-straw fill-the-gap plait is the method of moving these straws into their positions with every turn. When plaited, the two ends of the plait are carefully tied together and finished with cotton pearl thread. Material - Hand-cut Kansas Hard Red Winter Wheat Size - The inside diameter is approximately 2⅝” with a little give when slipping the bracelet on. The outside diameter varies due to the natural properties of wheat. The piece is sewn into place on a 3½” w x 5”- 6”h cardstock for packaging.
Plaited Earrings: Straw earrings are fun to wear as they are lightweight, full of movement and a way to showcase wheat with various beads. The plaits use three to six straws per earring. The earrings in the photo show ceramic white beads with green and lavender flowers. The earrings are finished with fishhooks and clutches. Marian will work with the customer on other beads and jewelry finding options. Material - Hand-cut Kansas Hard Red Winter Wheat, glass, wooden, metal beads Size - The size varies due to the natural properties of wheat. The piece is sewn into place on a 2¾” w x 3¾”h cardstock for packaging.
