DIY rope bracelet from a J.Crew shopping bag! & sideoats + scribbles - StumbleUpon. I must confess, I love jcrew so much. I even love the bags! (Hate to throw them away.) Then it hit me: why not make a rope bracelet from the handles? Here’s how I did it in just a few steps. (It took longer to write this up than it did to actually make it!) First, remove the handles from the bag. Fold one of the handles in half and place it on your work surface, then place the second handle next to it so that the ends are lined up. Braid your bracelet, then use another clothespin to hold it in place. Now for the only tricky bit. Here are some closeups of the knots so that you can see them better.
Now to finish it up, take the piece of the handle that you trimmed and knot it around the other end, then remove the clothespin. Then you can tidy up and trim off to even things up. To wear, just slip the big knot into the back. That’s it! I think it’ll go great with all my striped shirts this summer — I have a major stripe obsession going on right now! Xo, - StumbleUpon.

These bracelets are sure to impress and look quite expensive, but all they require is some gold chain and friendship bracelet yarn, both of which you can find at a craft store like Michael’s Art Supply. Make one signature piece or stack a bunch for a layered look! BFrend Bracelets by Monika You can find the full blog post here to see more styles of these bracelets.
In order to create them, check out these various friendship bracelet patterns. Tie your yarn to one end of the gold chain, braid whatever pattern you like, and then knot it to the other end of gold chain once you have reached the right length to fit your wrist. Another fun and very creative bracelet is this one made out of gold or silver nuts, normally used to secure bolts. Amazing what you can create with such inexpensive items!
