Celine Inspired Knot Bracelet. I have been lusting over the Celine Knot bracelet for months and have been extremely unlucky in finding it. I figured it was time to get over it by making something similar while hunting down other autumn necessities. Given my current color obsession I decided to get adventurous and not just go for a metallic version. Inspiration My DIY version You will need: - polymer clay - a jar or thick glass bottle - an oven (:p) - acrylic colors or spray paint (optional) The jar or glass bottle will determine the size of the bracelet so pick one with a diameter close to that of your wrist. Turn on your oven adjusting the temperature according to your clay's instructions. Roll your clay into a tube approx. 1 inch longer than the diameter of your wrist. Softly pull the two ends so that you tighten the knot. Get your jar and wrap the bracelet(s) around it.
Carefully remove the jar from the oven and let the bracelets cool. Once they have cooled you can use acrylics or spray paint to color them. xoxo.

It is really fall now over here in northern Germany. The last days have been very stormy and the beautiful leaves are dancing in the wind. Winter is near and I was longing to make a leather bracelet with a bit more substance - a bit more chunky with a thicker leather.
Can't wait to wear it with my favorite cozy wool knits! Lucky me there is a leather shop in our small town near by. It's been there for over 25 years and i think, that is amazing with shops popping up and closing down every few monts these days. They custom make leather goods - mostly pants I guess and obviously do a great job. So from time to time I go visit and the lady let's me sniff thru their scrap bins. Not for free though - it is business! Sometimes she charges very little for my finds sometimes I have to swallow before taking out my wallet.
We NEVER discuss the prices - it seems "not right" to me to do so - It would feel rude. I'm not sure if she is aware of sometimes charging me much and sometimes charging little.

Old leather belt + old pillow slips = new tote. Old leather belt + spraypaint = new neon cuff! Old polo shirt + belt = new bag!
Old drawer + old belt = rockin' new shelf. Ok - not leather. DIY Macrame Bracelet. Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage. Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique.
This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting! You’ll need: Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths. Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands. Pull tightly and slide the knot up to the top. Finish the 2nd half of the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord. Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right . . . To finish the knots, thread one of the cords onto a needle and sew up the center of 3-4 knots along the backside. Repeat the same step on the other cord. After sewing up both knotting cords, trim away any excess. DIY: Jump Ring Bracelet.
