DIY Braided Hex Nut Bracelet – HonestlyWTF. We’re nuts for nuts. Is there a more versatile and inexpensive DIY component than a hex nut from the hardware store? You can imagine our excitement when we first discovered Philip Crangi’s Giles & Brother Hex Collection. Honestly, nuts braided into jewelry is WTF genius! With a few items that we always seem to have lying around, we tackled the technique and made our own spine-like braided hex nut wrap bracelet.
You’ll need:3 strands of cotton butcher’s twine cut into one yard pieces18 small brass hex nutsa bit of dexterity! Gather the 3 strands of twine and tie a knot at the top, leaving about 2 inches of slack. Keep your thumb at the base of the braid, holding the nut in its place. Repeat the steps, by threading the rest of the nuts to the outer pieces of twine before they are crossed over. The bracelet should wrap around your wrist at least two or three times. Good luck!!

There’s nothing that isn’t really cool about that, including the fact that it kind of looks like either a spine or a zipper.
Whichever you think it looks like, it’s a very cool thing to turn into jewelry for those of us who aren’t into daintier pieces. Diamonds? Click through for a sample of the how-to, to show just how easy it is. From Honestly … WTF, it’s really as simple as braiding while beading. And in the end, you will have a wicked, homemade bauble!

It was the beginning of second term and I was again standing in line at the on-campus book store waiting to pay for a too-heavy stack of text books.
The line was not moving at all so I put my books down on the floor and started flipping through the coffee table books on display. The book I chose to pick up first was titled Rolling Homes - Handmade House on Wheels by Jane Lidz. Thus the seed was planted. Sometime in late August, 2004 this seed suddenly germinated and I started researching and preparing for this project. It was originally built for 75 Passengers with a GVWR 30,000 lbs. Over the next several months I will be converting this old school bus into a family camper and documenting each step of the conversion process here. Tools you'll need: Some of the tools that are particularly useful for bus conversion.
Preparation: Step one, have a party and remove the seats! Floorplan: Preliminary floor plan. Framing: Bunks: Cabinetry:
