Two Part Harmony Bracelet & Flamingo Toes
I have another fun last-minute gift idea for you! I was browsing Pinterest last week and came across a great bracelet that led me to a shop I’d never heard of, Sundance. They have some fabulous jewelry! I fell in love with a little gem and knew that it would make a great homemade gift. It’s quick, easy, and you can customize it with any color you want! Sundance calls it the Two Part Harmony Bracelet – it’s a great blend of beads and leather. And here’s the Sundance version: Here’s what you’ll need to make your own: Assortment of pearls and beads (mine are seed beads and small pearls, as well as a large bead for the center and a silver charm for the back) Leather – about 14″ cording crimp beads 1 head pin jump rings toggle closure Cut a 12″ strand of cording. Flatten the crimp bead with flat nosed pliers. Begin threading beads and pearls onto the two strands. Add beads until the strands each measure almost 3″. Feed the cording strands back through several of the beads, then trim the ends.
DIY Macrame Bracelet
Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage. Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique. This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting! You’ll need: Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths. Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands. Pull tightly and slide the knot up to the top. Finish the 2nd half of the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord. Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right . . . To finish the knots, thread one of the cords onto a needle and sew up the center of 3-4 knots along the backside. Repeat the same step on the other cord. After sewing up both knotting cords, trim away any excess.
michael ann made.: woven friendship bracelet tutorial
i love the summer friendship bracelet trend that i keep seeing in blog land, so i thought it would be fun to share with you another way to weave a friendship bracelet. one of the parents at work showed me this technique of using a circular cardboard loom and i love how quick it goes, you can easily finish a bracelet in one sitting. - cardboard - something small and circular (like a teacup or ramekin) - scissors, ruler, pen - embroidery thread in pretty colors , thin yarn, or ribbon trace a circle onto your cardboard, and use a ruler to draw 8 lines cut a small ways into each line, between 1/2 an inch to an inch and make a hole in the middle of the circle where all the lines intersect. cut 7 strands of embroidery floss, about 24 inches long and tie them together with a slip knot. pull your thread bundle through the hole in your cardboard with the knot right up next to the hole and use a little piece of tape to hold it in place while you start. now for the fun part!
