I've been lurking here for a while.. use to make beaded jewelry.. got out of it.. now starting to get back into it.... but right now I need a question answered real fast!! I'm making a :"mother's" bracelet for my daughter for her first mother's day.... I'm going to be using 6mm square alphabet beads.... a total of 8 of these.... and 6 8mm round beads.... and probably will have to fill it some other way... but I need to know how long to make it.... her wrist is 5 1/2 inches...... (measured for a watch that my son made for her....)..... I use to know how much you add to the end to make it fit nicely without being tight.... I'm also going to be adding some baby charms to hang from it...as well as using a barrel clasp.....
