Multi-Chain & Ribbon Necklace Due to the resounding success of her last She’s Crafty, my friend Pandora from Accessory Source is back with another lovely necklace DIY tutorial that would make a fantastic christmas present for a friend or relative! She says: When it comes to jewelry, I favor big and bold pieces. And while I tend to wear mostly gold, lately I’ve become obsessed with mixing metals like silver and gunmetal (and throwing in some bling for good measure!). You will need the following tools: ScissorsRulerPliers (optional)Ribbon-1 yardTwo jump rings (the size of a nickel). Supplies I chose a mix of metals in various colors and sizes and a few strands with rhinestones. All of my materials were purchased at Toho Shoji. Cut your first strand of chain to 12 inches Step 1: Cut your first strand 12 inches long. Cut your remaining strands each a half inch shorter than the next Step 2: Cut the remaining strands 1/2 inch shorter than the strand before.

I'm Heidi from Sew Craft Create. I have two sweet, little girlies and a serious addiction to all things crafty! I am so excited to be here today and today I am teaching you how to make zipper rosettes! What you need: Zippers {any color, any size} needle & thread *hard interfacing *hot glue gun Step One: Cut entire length of zipper, leaving just over a 1/4 inch on either side. Cut ends off zipper. Separate zipper. Fold 1/4 inch of the zipper onto itself. Wrap & stitch (same way) until you have 3 rows. Step Six: Insert needle through two rows (the new row and the row directly beneath it). Insert it from back of the rosette. Then insert needle from front to back. Keep wrapping and repeat step six every 1/8 inch until done. Step Seven: Once zipper is desired size, cut off remainder. Attaching to hard surface: Cut extra-heavyweight interfacing to fit rosettes. Attaching to soft surface (i.e., fabric): Skip step eight and sew directly onto fabric. All done! Attach to anything!
DIY Braided Bead Bracelet 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)
Chain and String Bracelet Já faz um tempinho que detectamos uma onda de pulseiras de corrente decoradas com trabalhos em crochê e linhas nas lojas mais bacanas de acessórios. O trabalho é supervalorizado porque muitas vezes o material da pulseira é de ouro, e o trabalho artesanal também tem o seu valor. Quem virou febre da modinha lá fora e vende suas peças no Net-a-Porter é o designer Aurélie Bidermann. As joias são feitas com materiais nobres, e as correntes são todas de ouro 18k. Vale a pena o investimento, mas se você não pode arcar com o precinho, encontramos um site que ensina a fazer o passo a passo da pulseira sensação. Pulseirinha da amizade fina! Fotos: Reprodução.
DIY Wrap Bracelet You should all know by now that we are all about stacking bracelets on our wrists. The more, the better. In fact . . . the most, the best! With that being said, we’ll show you how to master a version of the ever so popular wrap bracelet. It’s so simple and addicting, you’ll soon be churning out these wristlets with your eyes closed. Clearly this arm party train isn’t stopping and it’s about time you get on board! You’ll need (for a double wrapped bracelet) :* Lengths will vary depending on the size of your wrist (see comments for suggestions). Fold the length of leather cording in half to form a loop. Place the ball chain along the leather cording with the end of the chain meeting the end of the wrap. Continue wrapping while checking it for fit around the wrist. When you have reached the end of the ball chain wrap the linen cording around the leather strands 2-3 more times. Thread the hex nut through the strands and tie a second knot. Trim with scissors and your wrap bracelet is finished!!
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!
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. #SuperFab This got me thing…let’s transform buttons into statement rings! 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.
