DIY Stackable ArmCandy Bracelet Tutorial (Friendship Bracelets) Summer bracelets DIY. When M. came home from her camp with school, she showed me this yellow bracelet she made with 'scoubidoo' strings.

Thread the hex nut through the strands and tie a second knot. Trim with scissors and your wrap bracelet is finished!! Lanyard Double Chain Bracelet. This project brings back memories, in more than one way. 1) I loved lanyard when I was a kid, and I clearly remember making sooo many keychains and bracelets. 2) This DIY reminds me of S&P's first ever project, the Braided Chain Bracelet, from last summer. And 3) My entire bedding set during my Freshman year of college were these exact colors. My comforter was reversible neon green and bright blue, and I even had hangers and towels in the same colors. By the time I graduated I was more into the blacks and darker jewel tones, but I still can't resist a good pop of color.
