Turquoise Chip Bracelet

I had a bunch of turquoise chips leftover from my turquoise earrings I made. So, I decided to make a bracelet to match.

Inspiration

Finding uses for materials I had.

Supplies

This is cool way to spruce up some basic bangle bracelets on the cheap!

Supplies

• Pearl garland
• Basic bangle bracelets
• Hot glue
• Colorful embroidery thread

Take your bangle bracelet and add a small dab of hot glue. Attach the pearl garland with the glue. Continue to glue to pearls around the entire bracelet.

Then, add a small dot of glue and attach one end of the thread. Start wrapping the thread between each pearl. Continue wrapping all the way around.

Now you have some really cute bracelets! They are a lot quieter when you wear a few of them compared to the plain metal bracelets!

Knot Rope Bracelet

This is a really cool way to make a casual bracelet out of rope. I found this great tutorial on Pinterest. It's a bit challenging to figure out but it ends up being really neat.

Inspiration

Thanks, I Made It

Supplies

• Rope (I used 4mm Bonnie Craft Cord from Hobby Lobby)

• Scissors

• Bracelet Clasp Ends

• Hot Glue

First, cut your rope long enough to wrap around your wrist one and a half times. I used two pieces to add volume to my knot.

Next, start making the knot. This is where it gets a bit tricky. Here is a diagram that will hopefully help as you make the knot.

Now, melt the ends with a lighter.

Add the bracelet clasp ends. I also used a few dabs of hot glue to hold the knot in place so it won't deform while I wear it. That's it! For a couple of bucks you have a really cool rope bracelet perfect for some cute summer outfits!

Beaded Bracelet Bunch

I've been on a real jewelry kick lately. Now that the weather has warmed up, I'm starting to wear less long sleeves and jackets. With my wrists exposed now, I've wanted to wear more bracelets. I found this post on Pinterest and wanted to try it.

Supplies

• Beads of your choice
• Elastic string
• Ribbon
• Charm (optional)

First, string your beads. I did five strands of beads. 

Tie the ends of each strand together to make a bracelet. 

Take the ribbon and tie all of your bracelets together. I added my charm to the ribbon and tied the ribbon in a bow. 

You now have a cute bracelet that's easy to throw on as you're out the door!

Adjustable Beaded Bracelet

I just love making jewelry. This project from Pinterest is pretty fun to make. There are tons of variations that can be done.

Supplies

• Jewelry cord
• Beads of your choice
• Scissors

Cut three pieces of cord. I cut mine about 10 inches long. String your beads in the order of your choosing.

Knot the cord on each side right where the beads end.

Tie the three strand together on each end.

Take one end and knot it around the other and then knot the very end of each. This will cause the bracelet to slide and adjust but the end knots will stop it from coming apart.

Not you have a cute, casual bracelet!

Beaded Flower Bracelet

I just love adding to my jewelry collection! I also love the color aqua! I saw this post on Pinterest and had to try it out. I made mine using the same color scheme but I think this bracelet would look really cute in lots of other colors too!

Little Birdie Secrets

Supplies

• Beads
• Clear Stretchy Beading String
• Fabric strip
• 3 seed beads
• Thread
• Needle
• Clasp (optional)

First, string your beads! I did two strands of beads. If you decide to use a clasp, tie the beaded strands to the clasp.

Create your rosette flower. Here's the tutorial. Attach the flower to the bracelet with some thread. 

With a bit of time and patience, you have a beautiful, chic new bracelet!

Clay Rose Bracelet

I had more clay from the bobby pins project. So, I thought I'd make a bracelet too.

Inspiration

Show, Tell, Share

Supplies

• Oven-Bake Clay
• Seed Beads
• Two Larger Beads
• Clear Stretchy Beading String
• Scissors
• Toothpicks

First, make your rose. Follow the same steps as the clay rose bobby pin tutorial (here).

Take your clear stretchy beading string and cut a piece that wraps around your wrist one and a half times. Start stringing your seed beads. I stopped halfway and added a large bead to each side and then continued with the seed beads. I strung three strands and each strand I would insert into the larger beads halfway through.

String each bead strand through the clay rose and tie tightly.

Now, you have a beautiful rose bracelet on the super cheap!

Rope Bracelet

I love the shabby chic style. This bracelet is exactly that! I found this post on Pinterest and wanted one for myself! It's a really cute cuff!

Sew Craft Create

Supplies

• Fabric
• Thread
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Button
• Sewing Machine

First, cut your fabric. You will end up with five pieces. One piece three inches wide that wraps around your wrist with about an inch overlapping. Four pieces one inch wide about 3 inches (or more) longer than the one you wrapped around your wrist.

Take the three inch wide piece and cut three rows of slits about half an inch apart. 

Now, lay the four strips overlapping each other on top of the three inch piece. Sew them down with a sewing machine (or you can sew it by hand).

Take the first strip on the right and pull it through the first slit. Wrap it around the side and pull it through the second slit. Continue this all the way down.

For the second strip, pull it through the first middle slit. Push it back through the second slit of the right side where you pushed the first strip through. Continue pulling the second strip through the middle slits and pushing them through the first row of slits all the way down.

For the third strip, pull it through the first middle slit where you first pulled through the second strip. Do the same with this strip but push it through the slits on the left. 


For the fourth strip, do exactly what you did with the first strip but do it on the left side. 

Trim the extra pieces from the end if necessary.

Fold both ends over about 1/4 of an inch and sew. Add a loop of fabric to one side and the button to the other.

Now you have a super cute, shabby chic bracelet!

Cluster Beaded Bracelet

I saw this post on Pinterest a few days ago and though it was a beautiful bracelet! So, I thought I would challenge myself by attempting to make myself one.

Inspiration

 Skye Juice

Supplies

• Pearls of varying colors and sizes (I used 3 colors and 2 sizes)
• 2" head pins
• Bracelet chain
• Round nose pliers
• Wire cutters

First, take a larger pearl and insert a pin. Cut the pin with the wire cutter to the appropriate size to leave just enough room to loop the end around the chain with the round nose pliers.

Continue adding your larger pearls in whatever pattern you decide. I used 25 larger pearls.

Then, add in the smaller pearls where there is empty space. I used about 15 smaller ones. 

Now you have a beautiful pearl bracelet! It's pretty simple to do. It's just a bit time consuming. I also made matching earrings with the extra supplies. I love them!
