It all started on Facebook

It all began with a fun Facebook post from Carnival cruise ambassador John Heald, sparking a delightful idea. I’m Nicole, the face behind Nanasbraclets, and my journey started on a whim—after creating over 100 handmade stretch bead bracelets with my grandkids for our upcoming cruise. We had a blast designing them, and they became a real hit among friends and fellow cruisers. That’s when I realized I might be onto something special.

With my grandkids’ creative energy still flowing, I started experimenting with more designs, using colorful resin, glass, and stone beads, each one finished with a cute little yellow ducky charm—perfect for cruise fans, cabin gift exchanges, or just as a cheerful keepsake. Crafting these bracelets became more than a hobby; it’s a way for me to share joy and a bit of our family’s love with others.

Life as a grandma means finding creative outlets beyond LEGO sets, which are getting pricier and harder to store! So, I turned my passion into an Etsy shop, sharing these unique, handcrafted bracelets with the world. My grandkids still help me come up with new design ideas, making sure each piece is full of love and personality.

What makes Nanasbraclets truly special? It’s the genuine touch—the handcrafted craftsmanship, the colorful beads, and those adorable yellow ducky charms that bring a little sunshine to anyone’s day. Whether you're a cruising enthusiast or just looking for a charming, one-of-a-kind gift, I pour my heart into every bracelet.

So, welcome to Nanasbraclets, where handmade happiness is just a bracelet away—crafted with love, inspired by adventures, and brought to life by family.
