Book Page Bracelet. Ok, I confess, I’m a huge fan of The Hunger Games, and can’t wait until the movie comes out.
And after making the book page necklace I showed you yesterday, I think I went a little crazy thinking about all the ways to wear my favorite books. :) Last Halloween I made a Spiderweb Bracelet, knowing I’d adapt it to another occasion somewhere down the line. Well, that occasion has arrived! (And a side note, can I just mention that I have been so proud of myself lately for doing all my crafting out of my stash!) If you want the full tutorial, hop on over to my original post. A note: the glass gems you get from the floral department aren’t perfectly round, nor are they perfectly flat on the bottom. Personally, that doesn’t bother me at all – it’s my opinion that it adds character, but I know a less-than perfect look isn’t for everyone.

Here’s the second DIY I led with with BurdaStyle direct from the MAGIC floor.
We did these bracelets on Wednesday, the final day of the show. It was a perfect project to wrap-up with because it was fast and easy. I think we were all feeling a little bit like the walking dead after spending the 4 days running around Las Vegas 20 hours a day. Photo courtesy BurdaStyle The supplies are simple: chain + ribbon. For each bracelet you’ll need about 6″ of chain and 16″ of ribbon. Sidenote: Do you guys know about Fray Check? The last step it to clip off the (fraying) ends of ribbon at an angle and apply Fray Check.
One more MAGIC DIY to come next Tuesday: Faux turban fabric headbands! Tagged as: bracelets, burdastyle, chain, diy, magic, wwdmagic. Rick Rack Rosettes - StumbleUpon. A friend gave me this flower ring and necklace, when she handed them to me I thought they were porcelain–there’s a very vintage feel to them.
From a distance you really can’t tell that they’re made out of rick rack! Yes, rick rack! She shared how to make them with me, and now I’m sharing with all of you readers! The wow of the rosette comes from a few simple steps! She found this tutorial, in Portuguese I believe. First, cut 2 strips of rick rack. Then twist the two pieces of rick rack together, like this. And then run a stitch down one side to hold it all together. Like so. And to make the flower, you just start from one end and roll it up. Keep rolling. Until you have this–and then tuck the little tail under and hot glue it down. You’ll notice all of the petals are closed, so to open them up you just peel them back one by one.
