Prost!

Oktoberfest is pretty popular here, but this is the first time I've been inspired to make a bracelet for it The pretzel bead was what pushed me over the edge. It didn't arrive until yesterday, so I missed wearing this bracelet to the festivities on the weekend, but I still wanted to put something together for the last few days of Oktoberfest. I picked the unique to the left of the pretzel because it reminded me of the salt that makes the pretzels extra tasty

That's perfect!

Love this!  Excellent combo!!

Great idea for a bracelet

That is such a fun idea, hope you had an oktoberfestively weekend.

Truly yummy in all sorts of ways!

Ooh that's gorgeous!! And makes me hungry for big pretzels

I see you have represented the color beer too. Its perfect.

That is a great bracelet! So much Octoberfest fun!

Thanks everyone

And yes, Gail, after the pretzel, beer was the second thing I worked on getting into the bracelet You can't really have Oktoberfest without the beer. I don't eat sausage, or I'm sure that would have been the third.

They even have a special Oktoberfest mustard here. I've never tried it, but a friend loves it and seeks it out while it is available and stocks up a bit.

I am often impressed with the creativity of forum members. The fact that you found inspiration in Oktoberfest and executed the design so wonderfully, then shared it with us all, is exactly why I enjoy this forum soooo much!

Ohhhh I could use a crispy Bretzel right now... your bracelet is mouth watering

What a great bracelet and I absolutely LOVE your sugar sleigh

Ooh, seeing this makes me so glad I ordered the sugar sleigh, can't wait for mine ot arrive now!

Aww, thank you! I too am impressed with the combinations that people come up with, but don't often feel that mine are as inspired so I don't always share. I struggled with the colours of this one at first, and I know that they are not the traditional Bavarian colours, but it somehow seems right to me.

Reive and Mabel, the Sugar Sleigh Ride is a really cute bead in person. Here it is representing the parade floats that are part of the Oktoberfest/Thanksgiving Day parade (I just had to find a way to use it right away! )

That is such a cute bracelet - I can feel the fun you must have had at Oktoberfest in it
