DIY bracelet

DIY: Bright Chain Bracelet Yesterday my latest Marie Claire arrived and I was looking over this spread. The brilliantly-colored accessories are so energizing. Perfectly timed, since even here in Houston we’re experiencing a cold snap. (I have some company in the studio from the plants that normally live on roofdeck.) Here’s how to make your own bright woven chain bracelet! - Chain – Use what you have, or what you can find. If you don’t want to run around collecting all the materials yourself, you can buy a kit with everything you need from me in my Etsy shop. 1. 2. 3. 4. DIY Beaded Bracelet I’m super excited to share this project with you, as it has been over two weeks in the making. I fussed around with many a mini-crochet needle and embroidery thread, and my house is now littered with bitty seed beads, to arrive at what I think is my favorite and most unique tutorial yet! Woo hoo! Materials: Embroidery thread (I used 6 stranded thread) Crochet hook size 1 (2.75mm) Seed beads Jewelry clasps Needle Scissors Directions: Note: This pattern is for a bracelet that measures 6.5″ at completion. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Or you can always go the neon route, which is clearly a Blog a la Cart fav. Admittedly, Sunny demands to wear the blue and “geen” one frequently. Photos: Ashley Weeks Cart

Mod Inspired Earrings | Creation | Cut Out Lace & Button Earrings These dramatic earrings are oh-so-light with lacey dark filigree and vintage smoked mother-of-pearl buttons. How to make 5 bracelets in 10 minutes Today I would like to show you 5 different techniques to make some nice and easy bracelets. I wanted new bracelets and a lot of them so I made these very quickly. The best thing about these bracelets is that if you're crafty you'll make them for free because they can be made with what you have in your stash:left-over pieces from other DIY projects, little pieces of ropes, some yarn and so on. These bracelets are quick to make and you can have fun making them in every color! Let's start! Yarn bracelet : I made a tiny loop with the rope, blocked with thread and needle and then I just wrapped the colored yarn around. Crystal bracelet : I made a loop with the rope and blocked it with thread and needle then I put the crystal chain over the rope and I wrapped the yarn around both. Ball chain bracelet: I made a loop with the rope and blocked it with thread and needle then I put the ball chain over the rope and I wrapped the yarn around both.

Bracelet Hello everybody! I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I know I did, for the most part. I strained my back on Saturday then spent Sunday watching Mad Men and reading Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. I am A total dork for all things Bourdain/No Reservations. But anyway… I am proud that I am, so far, keeping my New Year’s Resolutions. But I did mine with leather. And there you have it. Have a wonderful day!

Jewellery Findings | Silversmith Supplies | Bullion | Palmer Metals Fabriquer un bracelet de star | Princesse Pia A force de surfer sur des sites de bijoux artisanaux et de flâner dans les petites boutiques de curiosité, ça donne des idées. Ni une, ni deux, je fonce à la mercerie. Pour un début, je décide de faire soft et sobre. Il y a tellement de choix dans les breloques, les perles, les couleurs, les matières qu’on s’y perd vite. Moi j’opte pour un bracelet coulissant avec un objet central. J’adore les étoiles, donc je trouve vite ce qu’il me faut. Je ressors donc avec 1 mètre de fil gris, 1 étoile, 4 cristaux de Swarovski transparents pour un total de 1.86 euros. Comment faire ? J’ai tout d’abord couper une longueur de 26 centimètres (de quoi faire le tour du poignet et les noeuds coulissants). J’ai ensuite enfilé les perles et l’étoile. J’ai bien centré les objets et j’ai fait un noeud de chaque côté des cristaux de Swarovski pour les maintenir en place. Puis des noeuds coulissants aux extrémités. Et voilà le résultat ! Vous aimez ?

DIY Woven Bracelet & Necklace I’ve been itching to make myself some jewelry inspired by Aurélie Bidermann’s “Do Brasil” line. Since I don’t have 300 Euros lying around, this looked like a design I could recreate on my own. I was primed to put together a DIY Tutorial for you all when I discovered that Honestly WTF had already done the honors. I picked up the gold necklace and the two bracelet chains from an antique shop for $5 a piece, and had the embroidery thread on hand. Jump on over here for the tutorial. NECKLACE: I used shades of pale blue and turquoise embroidery thread, and wove through one side of the chain to mimic this necklace. CHARM BRACELET: This bracelet was already armed with charms. DOUBLE BRAIDED BRACELET: For this bracelet, I removed the charm and just used the chain. Photos: Courtesy of Ashley Weeks Cart

SPOILT ROTTEN BEADS - UK - OVER 4000 YUMMY BEADS! 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!!

Sewing A Bracelet This is a fun one! Give it a try… The measurements given will accommodate wrist sizes between 5 and 7 inches around. Start with 24 inches of 1/2 inch wide ribbon. Fold one end under 3/4 of an inch and pin in place. Fold again and pin. Keep folding and pinning… Now, you are ready to sew. When sewing, make sure the folds are facing you. Cut a piece of 1/2 inch wide elastic 2.5 inches long. This is what it looks like after you sew the elastic to one end. Measure the bracelet length you need. I told you this would be a fun one! The Real Deal: It only cost me $0.50 in materials to make this bracelet.
