Braided leather bracelet

Hey guys!  Don't forget the giveaway is still open!!!! Click here to be taken to that post.

 

 

Doesn't that look cool? Maybe I am the only one that thinks so haha

I really how this bracelet looks, even though its just a simple braid.

•  5 pieces of leather cord, about 10 inches
• 2 ribbon end clasps
• 2 jump rings (3 if adding a charm)
• lobster clasp
• flat pliers

 

 Line your cords inside your ribbon clasp. It helps to add a bit of glue to hold them down, and press it closed between flat pliers. If you did not add any glue, press down hard. You really want the little teeth on the clasp to grab the cord.  Now, braid your cords.

I paired the two edge cords together, leaving the middle one (purple) as a single.

 

 When you reach the ends, measure around your wrist and cut. And again, add your ribbon end clasp. Lastly, add your clasp. And you are done!!!!

 

 

 

Sorry that this is such a short and simple post. I am having some internet and computer problems.

I hope you at least enjoyed it!!!!!

DIY- Washi tape earrings

Hey guys! I a really sorry this post did not go up on Thursday. :( I had to work that day and well i came home exhausted from the 13 hour shift. Hopefully this will be the last week I work so much because I have many DIYs for you!
BUT without further ado; I wills how you how I made these really cute washi tape earrings!

•  washi tape
• earring back
• glue (E600 or crazy glue)
• Modge Podge Dimensional Magic
• small wood blank
• 
  

I didn't take many pictures of the process because it is so easy to do.

1. Lightly coat your wood blank with glue and stick on the washi tape. the glue will hold the washi tape down as the dimensional magic dries

 The design i wanted was too small so i added solid colored washi tape to the top and bottom edge.

2. When the glue is dry, add a layer of the dimensinal magic.  Make sure there are no bubbles!

if you spot any, blow on then with a straw or poke them with a safety pin/needle. Allow to dry completely, about 12 hours.

3. Once dry, apply the earring back with a bit of glue and you are done!

Wasn't that quick and simple? Imagine all the possibilities! I have made many pairs with different patterns and let me tell you, not only are they cute but one of a kind! These would be cute for gifts too.

I hope you guys try this one, if you do send me a picture!!

Until next time!!!
