Denim bracelet - tutorial

One of my most popular posts last year was my denim bracelets, and I got a lot of requests for a tutorial. So I have decided to kick off the new year by keeping my promise. What you need to make these bracelets are as follows: A worn out pair of jeansScissorsStrong thread (I used fishing line for my first one)NeedleBeadsPush buttons (I’m using a KAM press with buttons that I god from E-bay.) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.Push the needle trough the bracelet from the front. 9. 10. The second one that I’ll show you is a little more time-consuming, but just as easy to make. 1 You will need a longer thread for this, but because it’s very easy to get I tangled up I would recommend changing when you’re half way finished. 2 I’m using some tube shaped beads for this and thread one to the string before I push the needle trough the bracelet to secure it. 3 Move the needle a little to the side before pushing it back up, attaching a new bead and pushing it back down.

My necklaces are both about 30" long, and through trial and error I estimated my initial crochet chain to equal about 8 chains per inch. So, to create a necklace approximately 30" long, I rounded off the number of chain stitches I would need to 250. I wanted to add 1 bead to every 10th chain stitch. 250 divided by 10 = 25 beads. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. That's it! Let me know if you have questions.

These colourful beads were made from origami paper, rolled and varnished in a couple of hours. I chose the paper because I love the colours, but most paper will work.
