DIY fabric bow bracelet

It seems that I am obsessed with bows lately, so why not make one into a bracelet? This is easy to do, and the options are endless! Also, you can add a bit more dazzle with studs, rhinestones, pearls; pretty much anything you can think of! You might even try adding some charms, but I liked it just with the bow :)

•  bow (tutorial here)
• chain, about 3 inches
• 3 jump rings
• lobster clasp
• a nail
• hammer
• pliers

(I am really sorry this post has no pictures, unfortunately my memory card formatted. I will update this later with pictures!) 

• On a hard surface,one where you don't mind hammering,  lay your bow and mark two dots near the edges in the middle.

• Place the nail on one of the marks, and hammer down through the fabric. You want to make sure you get it in all the way. Now do this to the other side.
• Once you have your holes, add a jump ring to each one. Close one, and add the chain to the other one. 
• Add the third jump ring to the other end of the chain, and to that add your clasp.

Once done, you can go ahead and decorate it anyway you want as I mentioned above. :)

If you don't like the way I chose to close this bracelet, you can always change it up. To me, this way was the easiest.

If you try this one, feel free to send me a picture to my email (precious.desert.rose@gmail.com), or instagram it to me (desertrose77).

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!!!!!

Braided button bracelet

 Aren't these cute?

 

These are perfect for stacking and the button makes them stand out. I love these bracelets because not only are they super easy to make, but you can make a lot of them in a couple minutes!

I remember when I was in high school, I liked to make the knotted friendship bracelets, but my fingers would end up hurting so much after the first one. Lets just say I never could make more then two a day, haha. Now with these, I can make at least 20 in half an hour!

 

 

 3 different colors of craft thread (40 inches each)
A decorative button
Clear glue

Pretty easy, fold your threads in half and make a knot in the middle leaving space for your button to fit. (Picture below)

Now, braid it! Braid about 7inches. Make a knot, add your button, make another know to secure it, and add glue to that knot. Cut off the excess thread.

Viola! You are done!

See, I told you it was pretty easy! The glue on the knot, is to keep it from coming undone (it's happened :( ), but it is not necessary.

 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and try it out!

BTW,  if anyone is interested I will have a couple kits to make these in my miiduu store in the next two week or so!
