Upcycled Magazine Charm Bracelet Project. Assorted old magazines Scissors Elmer’s Glue All Embroidery thread in your choice of color Spray varnish or spray lacquer A needle A ruler Some kind of work surface protection such as plastic, old newspapers, or even magazine pages I suggest you choose old magazines on topics you or the recipient of your magazine charm bracelet enjoy. It will help you to find appropriate little images for the charms. I’ve actually noticed that the best place for tiny images to use on the charms is usually the ad section found in the back of most magazines. Search through your old magazines for tiny, charm-sized images you like.
The images preferably should be wider rather than taller. I recommend cutting out these tiny images first because it takes the most concentration while cutting. I chose to use wee little fish from my old aquarium magazines because I love saltwater fish, as does the person I had in mind when I made it. Member's free craft downloads | index.

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. Handprint Crafts. True Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy Recipe.

Woven gift-wrap // pastel edition ^_^ By Kate on August 8, 2012 I noticed that the woven gift-topper I made last year was doing the rounds again on Pinterest so I thought I would make an updated pastel version (pastels seem to be the new neon at the moment). I bought some quilling strips (0.5cm) to use this time which reduces the labour by about half (I’ve also been working on some more intricate woven ‘things’ for another project…more to come soon).
Anyway check out the previous post if you want full instructions.
