How to Make a Fork Bracelet| DIY Fashion and Craft TutorialsStars for Streetlights I've always loved taking everyday items and making them into something interesting. Ever since I was a little crafty kid I loved devouring books that taught me how to make little dolls from clothespins, beads from rolled up magazines, and little fairy ornaments from wire and fake flower petals. The first time I saw my friend wearing a bracelet made from a fork a few years ago, I knew I had to try it (*ahem Carly ;)). I wrote up a tutorial a while back, but I've had some questions about the directions I gave so I decided to make a proper tutorial with a video! :) (Please excuse my intro, if you can't hustle your website on your Youtube channel, where else are you supposed to do it? What you need:♥ A fork. I think these forks are the easiest to use, and I've used a lot of different forks. :)♥ Pliers, 3 pairs. 1 jewelry pair, 1 regular pair or needle nose, and an adjustable wrench.♥ Piece of thick fabric like denim or corduroy.♥ Strong hands. I've always really liked layering bracelets.
Button Statment Rings | It’s September and that means it’s time to add another statement piece to your collection…. obviously! I heart almost every piece Nicole Richie designs for House Of Harlow 1960, especially her oversized rings. As amazing as these rings are they’re also an easy DIY. My friend Jenni, from I Spy DIY, did a project a few months back where she transformed buttons into earrings. Buttons, buttons everywhere!! Materials: Buttons, Clippers, Glue, Rings With Flat Tops (available at the jewelry supply store) Use your clippers to remove the shank from the back of the button. Once you’ve made the back of the button flat, use an ample amount of glue to secure the ring to the back of the button. Here’s another hint: If you can’t find a flat ring base, Ring Pops are a fun alternative. Once the base has dried, glue on the button. I now thing I have enough new statement rings to get me through the month.

Little Wishes - Beyond Beyond | Beyond Beyond Well, we are dusting off our obligatory black armband over in Beyond Beyond land for one of our most favourite shops ever – Early Bright (mega sad face) they have been the purveyors of some delicious and inspirational bling that is more art than jewellery. And we just want to share one of the most beautiful pieces every a wish in a jar. We used to shake dandelion bushes when we were little in the vain belief that we would get a Barbie dream house, Michael Jackson tickets, the ability to breakdance overnight (although we never progressed beyond being able to do backspins), millionaire moolah, or our favourite wish was that we had been dropped off at the wrong house (sorry parental units) and we were really the offspring of some family with the financial clout of Daddy Warbucks and the Rothschild’s combined.

DIY Bracelet en cuir Knot | Whimseybox When I saw this knotted leather Celine bracelet (#3 on ‘The List’) in a recent Harpers Bazaar I instantly thought DIY! I had a bunch of leather scraps leftover from some past DIYs so I decided to use some of the gold. I started by measuring out a piece 5” wide by 15” long. (If you have large wrists you may want a slightly longer piece. Remember that you can always cut off the excess.) Cut out the rectangular shape. Fold in the sides length-wise so that they meet in the center. Tie the piece into a basic overhand knot. Adjust the leather until you have a nice looking knot on top and the (unsecured) ‘seam’ is on the back. Flip the bracelet over and apply some leather or fabric glue to the inside/wrong-side of the leather. Before you fold the leather down into place, add a small neodymium magnet about a 1/2” from the end. Then press the leather together and wipe away any excess glue that seeps out the end.

V and Co how to: jersey knit bracelet i don't know what it is about this time of year that makes me just want to have my bare feet in the sand, be watching the sun setting into the ocean, and breathing in the warm salty air of the beach...as i get older, more and more i find myself missing that place i used to go to almost every.single.day. as a teen. (my skin doesn't miss it. as a matter of fact, i now wish i listened more and DID put SPF on my face...hindsight is 20/20). my mom calls me from her walk on the beach almost every morning...*sigh*yeah, i get a little homesick around this time of the year. heck on my pinterest my "dreaming of summer" has the most pictures in it. ah yes. i miss my ocean. case in point. this bracelet, brought a flood of memories, not because i used to have one like it but because i can totally see me wearing it by the beach, not caring that it's gotten salty and wet, because i can totally make another one in like less than 5 minutes flat when i get home. *sigh* okay... *cut off excess tails!
Lace & Pearl Bracelet & Flamingo Toes I have another fun Target knockoff to share with you. Last time I was there I stumbled upon a great little bracelet. Here is my handy camera picture. :) I love the lace and pearls combined with the leather. So I set out to recreate it. Here’s my version . . . I have a quick tutorial for you if you’d like to make your own. You’ll need: leather cording – I used about 28″hem tape lacepearls – I used 16threada bead with a larger hole in the centeroptional – a thimble Start by cutting your cording into 14″ pieces. Start in the center and work your way down one end – sewing the pearls to the cording. Continue adding pearls down one side – 8 in all. Move to the other side of the cording and add 8 more pearls on that side. Once your pearls are all sewn on, you can start wrapping your lace. Cut a long piece – and start wrapping it around the cording between the pearls. Keep wrapping all the way down one side of the cording. Repeat with the other side. Try it on and admire your new handy-dandy bracelet!!
Tutoriel DIY Bracelet matériel A DIY tutorial is so much fun. Do you love a fun hardware bracelet DIY as much as I do? They are easy (well, usually), fast and stylish. And you know my love of hex nuts. Want to give it a try? You will need: Stretch Magic cord. If you can’t find sequins on a string, you can use a small needle to stack them and make the process go faster. And make sure you are threading the sequins on in the same direction. When you need a break from stringing sequins, go ahead and glue your hex nuts together with E-6000 glue. When you have enough sequins strung to wrap around your wrist add the hex nuts. Read the Stretch Magic instructions on how to knot the cord. And you’re done! Stephanie Gerber Stephanie Gerber is a mother of 3 who writes for pretty mommies on a budget.
DIY Woven Bracelet & Necklace & greeneyed.com I’ve been itching to make myself some jewelry inspired by Aurélie Bidermann’s “Do Brasil” line. Since I don’t have 300 Euros lying around, this looked like a design I could recreate on my own. I was primed to put together a DIY Tutorial for you all when I discovered that Honestly WTF had already done the honors. I picked up the gold necklace and the two bracelet chains from an antique shop for $5 a piece, and had the embroidery thread on hand. I only needed scissors and two bobby pins to see this project through. Jump on over here for the tutorial. NECKLACE: I used shades of pale blue and turquoise embroidery thread, and wove through one side of the chain to mimic this necklace. CHARM BRACELET: This bracelet was already armed with charms. DOUBLE BRAIDED BRACELET: For this bracelet, I removed the charm and just used the chain. Photos: Courtesy of Ashley Weeks Cart
Tuto - Un pendentif en résine pailletée ! Pondu par Flo le 21 décembre 2012 Voici un tuto pour réaliser un pendentif qui scintillera de milles feux pour les fêtes de fin d’année ! L’occasion aussi de commencer à apprendre la technique de la résine ! À la base, la résine est faite pour réaliser de vrais petits objets, grâce à des moules en silicone. La résine transparente est obtenue par le mélange de deux produits, et nécessite un temps de séchage très long (comptez 24h). Ici, on va simplement s’en servir pour remplir un petit support à pendentif avec un rebord, et noyer le tout dans une envolée de paillettes ! Le matériel Un kit de résine crystal (composé généralement de deux produits et d’un doseur)Un petit pot de paillettes libresUn petit bol et une spatule pour mélanger la résineUn support pour le pendentifDu ruban finUn anneauUne chaîne et éventuellement un fermoir La résine Posez le support du pendentif à un endroit où vous n’y toucherez plus (rapport au temps de séchage).
