DIY Woven Chain Bracelet
Chain link bracelets, with colorful threads woven through them, have been popping up here and there. We adore Aurèlie Bidermann‘s Do Brazil bracelets and thought it was about time we graduate to the ultimate “grown-up” friendship bracelet. With a curb chain bracelet and some embroidery thread, we’ll teach you how to make your own woven chain bracelet. And one for your bestie too, of course. You’ll need:a curb link braceletembroidery threadtwo bobby pinsa pair of scissors Cut 2 sets of 15 strands of embroidery thread, with each strand measuring four times the length of the bracelet. Lay the second color (blue) over the first color (coral). Repeat the steps until you reach the end of the bracelet. (top images from here and here, rest of images by Honestly…WTF)
rope necklace
A few weeks ago I spotted the above necklace by 3.1 Phillip Lim while shopping online (here) and decided it would make the perfect addition to my Spring wardrobe. However, once I spotted the $225 price tag, I thought, "...psssh, I could make that myself!" And so I did. I headed to some local bead shops (if you live in NYC, go to the trimming district around 37th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue, there are a ton of bead and trimming stores all within a few steps of each other! I started by feeding the smaller-widthed rope through the shorter curved tubes. After I had one grey rope and one white rope strung through the curved beads, I taped the ends of both sides together, again binding as tightly and compactly as possible to feed them trough the shorter straight beads on each side. The next step was to add the pearls, which I did by cutting the strands I bought into smaller pieces, equal in length to the exposed sections of white rope that I'd be attaching them to.

So a wizard tells me that she’d personally include something organic between the geometric structure and what will I do, disobey the wizard? Pfft, absolutely not. So this is my second attempt, I do realise the rocks look like massive chewed gum in the photos but that was as organic looking as I could go, with the limited choice and all. The irregular shape of the rock made it quite hard to form a geometric structure around it and the weight kept unbalancing the whole damn thing – in the end I came out with something completely different from what I’d planned. So again, mucho respect to jewellery makers, you guys rock; no pun intended.

Chain bracelet-ring
Eile Talllinnas läks päris hästi, võistlustel me mingit head kohta ei saavutanud, aga see eest ootab ees terve nädalavahetus Pärnus Koolitantsu finaalis. Nagu arvata oli ei leidnud ma ühtegi ajakirja ja poodidest käisime me ka ainult Zaras. Ja nõme on lugeda kõikidest blogidest, kui lahe kirbuturul oli - ma olen nüüd kade, sest ma ei saanud sinna minna. Kuigi ma olen täna veel väga väsinud, leidsin ma aega ühe käevõru tegemiseks. Inspiration: Selle tegemine oli palju raskem kui ma arvasin, ma tegin seda üle kahe tunni. You need: My result: Translation: /Yesterday was pretty good in Tallinn.
