How to Make a Toothbrush Bracelet It seems that I'm into things made of household items-- from fork bracelets to pushpin shoes, there's a trend there. ;) What you need to make a toothbrush bracelet: ♥Toothbrush ♥Pliers ♥Pot and stove The first thing you need to do is put the toothbrush in boiling water. I recommend the cheapest toothbrush you can find, whether that's at the Dollar Store or wherever-- just as long as it is the simple kind. After you have let the toothbrush boil for about a minute, (or until it gets soft) you can easily pull out the bristles with your pliers. Bend the toothbrush until it fits your wrist. Ta da!

Perles : les techniques Afin de pouvoir réaliser des créations en perles, il vous faut maîtriser quelques techniques de base. C'est pour ça que nous vous en decrivons les 11 principales ( enfilage croisé, en boucle, en rose ou marguerite, en napperon, en poteau, en mimosa, en tube...) afin que vous puissiez réaliser facilement les différentes créations présentées sur le site. Enfilage Pour enfiler les perles, un seul conseil : avoir de la patience. Une fois la couleur et le type de perles choisis, versez-les dans la boîte et avec le fil que vous avez choisi, commencez à « pêcher » les perles avec des mouvements brefs et continus de droite à gauche. L’idéal, si vous devez réaliser des travaux qui demandent beaucoup de centimètres de fil enfilé, est de préparer d’abord le fil. [pub] Pour enfiler les perles, vous pouvez, aussi, bien sûr, utiliser un enfile-perles. Enfilage croisé Cette technique permet de réaliser des objets très décoratifs qui rappellent ceux que vous pouvez réaliser à l’aide d’un cadre spécial.
Honestly WTF How to Make a Fork Bracelet I've always loved taking everyday items and making them into something interesting. Ever since I was a little crafty kid I loved devouring books that taught me how to make little dolls from clothespins, beads from rolled up magazines, and little fairy ornaments from wire and fake flower petals. The first time I saw my friend wearing a bracelet made from a fork a few years ago, I knew I had to try it (*ahem Carly ;)). (Please excuse my intro, if you can't hustle your website on your Youtube channel, where else are you supposed to do it? What you need:♥ A fork. I think these forks are the easiest to use, and I've used a lot of different forks. :)♥ Pliers, 3 pairs. 1 jewelry pair, 1 regular pair or needle nose, and an adjustable wrench.♥ Piece of thick fabric like denim or corduroy.♥ Strong hands. I've always really liked layering bracelets. The other wrist. Forks and wolves go together, right? They definitely go with feathers. If anyone needs help, just leave a comment. :)
