Returning to my K-pop inspired bracelet designs, I decided to honoUr my sister’s favoUrite group, Blackpink, by creating a bracelet inspired by their iconic aesthetic. This marked a special moment as it became the first bracelet I created based on a girl group. Blackpink’s signature style, a fusion of strength and elegance offered endless creative possibilities. To pay tribute to this, I decided to create two variations of the bracelet: one dominated by pink beads to represent their bold femininity and another with black beads taking the lead, reflecting their powerful and edgy side.
To add more character to the designs, I incorporated shiny silver spacer beads, which not only added depth but also brought a polished and premium feel to the bracelets. This touch elevated the bracelets and emphasiSed the duality of the group’s name and image, delicate yet fierce, soft yet strong. The silver spacers acted as a unifying element, tying the two variations together as a cohesive tribute to the group while allowing each version to stand out in its own way.
These two designs also marked the final use of my remaining bead stock, leaving me with a collection of random beads. While this initially felt like a limitation, I soon saw it as an exciting challenge. Drawing inspiration from online creators who craft designs using mixed colors, I decided to embrace the opportunity to explore randomness and serendipity in my next bracelet. This approach could lead to unexpected discoveries and unique creations that push my design boundaries further.
CONCLUSION
The Blackpink inspired bracelet designs were a meaningful addition to my K-pop collection and a reflection of my evolving creativity. By experimenting with dual variations, I was able to capture the essence of Blackpink’s unique identity while also exploring new ways to design with purpose. This experience has prepared me to take on the next phase of my journey, working with random colours to uncover new inspirations and ideas that might redefine my design process.
