BEADED WRAP BRACELET DIY This Beaded Wrap Bracelet DIY is a great way to reuse the beads from old necklaces or any odd beads you have lying around from other projects. (I used at least 3 old necklaces for this bracelet.) I feel invincible, like I have Wonder Woman’s gold cuff on! This Beaded Wrap Bracelet is so fun because it feels like a gauntlet on your arm. You can adjust the wire to fit snugly or to be loose and dangle, its up to you. I like mine tight, it makes me feel invincible like I have Wonder Woman’s gold cuff on! Wire – I used 20 gauge (if you can find beads that fit on the larger 16 gage I’d recommend that, your bracelet will be more stiff, BUT mines still great on 20 gauge!) Step 1 Keeping your wire in the original coil, using your wire cutters count 10-12 rounds and cut. Step 2 Using your pliers bend one end of your wire into a small loop. Step 3 Start putting your beads on your wire. Or better yet, use memory wire. Step 4 Then if you need to you can re-coil your beaded wire.
Lanyard Double Chain Bracelet This project brings back memories, in more than one way. 1) I loved lanyard when I was a kid, and I clearly remember making sooo many keychains and bracelets. 2) This DIY reminds me of S&P's first ever project, the Braided Chain Bracelet, from last summer. And 3) My entire bedding set during my Freshman year of college were these exact colors. My comforter was reversible neon green and bright blue, and I even had hangers and towels in the same colors. By the time I graduated I was more into the blacks and darker jewel tones, but I still can't resist a good pop of color. Supplies: - Chain, twice the length of your wrist - Lanyard, 1-4 colors - Scissors - Jewelry pliers - Jump rings - Toggle or clasp closures 1) Cut two strands of lanyard, about 60 inches each 2) Fold both strands in half and tie a knot. 3) Fold the chain in half. 4) Take the outer blue strand and insert it directly through the next empty link. The chain might be kind of wonky while you'r doing this, but just keep on going.
glitternglue.com Triple Ball Chain Bracelet After last week’s bracelet DIY, I thought it would be fun to do another summery bracelet. (If your curious, next week’s DIY will be another summer bracelet, too – the reason for this is that I’ve had several busy weeks topped off with weekend travel plans, and materials for bracelets travel incredibly well!) Last summer, the brilliant ladies of Honestly WTF slayed me with this fabulous wrap bracelet. Ball chain – what a brilliant idea! This bracelet uses three pieces of ball chain. What you’ll need: Colorful Waxed Linen (about 2.5 yards.)Ball Chain (about 15 inches, cut into three five inch pieces.)Scissors Begin the bracelet by cutting the waxed linen into six pieces. Take your six strands and divide them into three bundles of two. When you finish braiding, separate the strands. Take two of your pieces of ball chain, and pinch them together with the four bottom strands. Wrap each of the two longer strands of linen around the ball chain, securing it to the bottom four strands.
DIY- Anthropologie "Perched Harmonies" Necklace Ready for another tutorial? What a pretty necklace. Not a pretty price! Make your own $68-looking Anthropologie designer necklace at home for barely no money at all. All that are needed are some beads, wire, and wire-working skills (don't worry, nothing too complicated here!). Get out your pliers; let's make some jewelry! Step 1: Gather materials. I used just plain glass rounds, as the Anthropologie necklace uses faceted gemstone beads. Step 2: Make the wire pendant. Time to hammer. When it looks slightly flatter, hammer the ends extra hard to sort of "push" the wire outwards, flattening it a lot. Step 3: Make the holes. Step 4: Add your beads to the pendant. If you don't care about it looking the exact same or don't have the exact colors of the beads (some of my colors were slightly different hues), then just go with what you want. Start wrapping the beads onto the pendant. Here are some close-ups so you can see the weaving technique. You are finished!
DIY Braided Hex Nut Bracelet We’re nuts for nuts. Is there a more versatile and inexpensive DIY component than a hex nut from the hardware store? You can imagine our excitement when we first discovered Philip Crangi’s Giles & Brother Hex Collection. Honestly, nuts braided into jewelry is WTF genius! With a few items that we always seem to have lying around, we tackled the technique and made our own spine-like braided hex nut wrap bracelet. You’ll need:3 strands of cotton butcher’s twine cut into one yard pieces18 small brass hex nutsa bit of dexterity! Gather the 3 strands of twine and tie a knot at the top, leaving about 2 inches of slack. Keep your thumb at the base of the braid, holding the nut in its place. Repeat the steps, by threading the rest of the nuts to the outer pieces of twine before they are crossed over. The bracelet should wrap around your wrist at least two or three times. Good luck!!

Put Up Your Dukes: braided scarf tutorial I have a tutorial that is forty thrillionty times easier and better than my previous (ahem, first ever...give me some grace!) tutorial. It is accessible to infinitely more people (you dont have to have a baby, OR a dress to start out with). Oh, did I mention it's mega cute and chic also? 5 weeks ago I saw this scarf on pinterest. it was pinned by a VERY popular pinner that I follow under her DIY board. LOVE these colors. must make a yellow and gray one for me. source The more I thought about it, the more I wanted this, and wanted it CHEAP. Then I got busy. the hardest part was figuring out the knot/braid, but Jesse jumped down and took charge like a freaking Eagle Scout. High on our success and planning the tutorial that would certainly be "my big break," I tweeted the following: And then naturally I got sidetracked with sewing orders and running and sleeping and life and never followed through on sharing this with anyone. The other (now massively popular and pinned, woe is me!) 2. 2. 2.
Fuck Yeah, Make Stuff! Recently I wanted to add more interesting vegetables to my dishes to encourage myself to eat more healthy. After some research I ended up buying the brieftons spiralizer as it seemed like a good little tool for producing spirals of vegetables - just what I want. That, combined with some good recipes, has made me a happy full girl for more than one evening. Here is what you can do to prepare a stir fried chicken with vegetables dish. I know I’m not that creative; the recipe is what I found here. Ingredients 1/4 lb zucchini 1/4 lb carrots 2 spring onions 1 lb skinless chicken breasts 1 red chili pepper 4 tbsp peanut oil 3 tbsp oyster sauce 4 tbsp soy sauce coriander Salt and pepper Steps Cut the chicken into 1” thick pieces. Peel the carrots and wash the zucchini, and then use the brieftons slicer to create all those interesting looking vegetable spirals. Then mix the oyster sauce and some soy sauce in a bowl. Add in the vegetables, chili, spring onions and leave them cooking for a few more minutes.
