Bracelet fine tresse/perles It’s been awhile since our last bracelet DIY. I don’t know about you, but our wrists have been begging for another colorful addition for months now. So after playing with some materials that were already on hand, we’ve created a tutorial for a braided bead bracelet, which is a not so distant cousin of the hex nut and wrap bracelet. Because honestly, you can never have too many . . . You’ll need: Cut the waxed linen cord into a 26″ and 19″ piece. Tie a knot about half an inch down from the loops. Start braiding the strands. Push the bead against the base of the braid, and cross the left strand over the middle. Keep a finger at the base of the braid, holding the beads in their place and keeping the braid tight. Finish the bracelet with another inch of braided cord, measuring it against the wrist. Thread on a two hole button – two strands through one hole and one strand through another. Trim the end. Your bracelet is finished! (all images by HonestlyWTF)
Joyful braided bracelet tutorial So I wrote this post 2 weeks ago but I’ve been trying to think of a way to make tutorials easier for me and for you, that’s why I had it on hold. And this weekend the idea came to me! I made a techniques and parts-of-tutorials-I-use-often page, so that way I can refer to them instead of making that part of the tutorial each time. YAY! I love bracelets and I am always looking for bright colors and unique looking bracelets, so last time I visited Joann’s I bought 6/8″ ribbon ends and lobster clasps to make fabric bracelets. I also wanted to share that this tutorial is for very light-weight fabrics, since I didn’t have much of it, I could not just roll 4 big pieces and make the braid, instead I made little straps and run pieces of cord on the inside to give them volume. First I cut 2″ wide of my fabric. After that I folded the traps with the wrong side of the fabric facing out and sewed them, you can see the details of how to turn the straps inside out here
Shashi inspired Adjustable Gemstone Friendship Bracelet After braiding, knotting, and friendship bracelet-ing my way for summer, it’s time to retire my armful of crazy friendship bracelets and bright colors for just a bit more sophistication. As much as I love neons and brights, I’m craving rich jewel tones for Fall. When it comes to my wristwear of choice, Shashi’s Rachel Gemstone Bracelet fits the bill. A little more luxe, a little more polished, but still ready to pile on by the armful. (And, lucky for us… incredibly easy to make, as well.) Materials / Where to Buy: Embroidery Floss (I used Lion Brand Cotton Bon Bons) // Glass or Gemstone Beads of your choice // Gold Beads // Beading Needle (Get this easy to thread kind.) *To make the square knots, refer to this tutorial if you are not already familiar.

DIY Woven Bead Necklace After a little inspiration from Diva (seen in this post), I decided to try out something similar with a whole lot of beads I bought (initially reserved for S and my craft day, but I couldn't wait that long... We'll have to make a larger more epic version!). Not too shabby, ey? Here's another (easy) DIY for you to try - complete with a short video this time!! DIY Woven Bead Necklace Step 1: Rustle up your bits and pieces. Step 2: Time to weave! Separate your hank into 4 equal parts, then lay them out flat, taping them to the table. It should look something like this if you use 4 strands! Step 3: Once you've finished the weave, it's time to secure the ends. Step 4: Attach one of those hooky things, then thread the pen nib on to hide the ugly knot! Et voila! Style it with a button-up shirt, with the necklace just peeking out from below :) xx T
DIY : bracelet coloré avec des perles ! | Blog mode | Let's Go To The Mall ! C’est un peu mon truc de l’été : faire des bracelets. Devant une série (en ce moment je suis totalement accro à Modern Family, c’est juste à tomber par terre de rire !) ou en lezardant au soleil, ça occupe les mains ! Celui-ci est déclinable dans de nombreuses matières et coloris, et très facile a faire ! J’espère que le tuto sera assez clair ! Le materiel Coupez quatre fils : les deux du centre un peu plus longs que votre tour de poignet et les deux des extrémités d’un mètre à peu près. De cette manière vous n’aurez plus qu’à monter les perles unes à unes au fur et à mesure. De la corde, du cordon, peu importe ! Le tuto Montez la première perle et faites un noeud carré (comme ici), sachant que le fil qui passe au dessus et celui du coté de la perle (cf. photos).
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! 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. Wrap slowly and tightly.
Bracelet escalade Climbing rope? Bracelets? Count us in. Before you begin, seal the tips of the cord by burning them with a lighter. Coil the cord twice around towards the left loop. Repeat the same steps on the other side. Trim and re-burn the tips if necessary. Try making the bracelets with leather cord too.

Perlenarmband mit Quaste Neue Liebesgeschichte: Taschen individualisieren Vor ein paar Wochen hat bei uns eine neue Liebesgeschichte begonnen :-) Ausnahmsweise handelt es sich dabei nicht um einen Mann sondern um Taschen, um ganz genau zu sein: Stofftaschen! Um den vollen Artikel zu lesen, auf “Weiterlesen” klicken. Wir sind schon länger verliebt in die praktischen und süssen Stofftaschen mit diversen Motiven. Als wir aber wieder einmal über einem DIY mit Stofftaschen brüteten, kam uns die Idee die Taschen individualisierbar zu machen. Soll heissen: Der “I like” Aufdruck ist fix auf den Taschen und unsere Botschaft kann mit den Stiften aufgemalt werden. Nach ein paar Tests kam die aufwändige Handarbeit (die sich aber gelohnt hat!) Am Warehouse Markt letzten Samstag, haben wir die Taschen auch an unserem Stand verkauft.
