DIY – your name bracelet « Born in 82 – Fashion and Creativity Blog
This is the last DIY of 2012, and it’s definitely a project a bit ‘special, a little because these bracelets are very fashionable lately, a little’ because there are many words that you can write, not just your name. Right now I am wearing the word hope …. Questo è l’ultimo diy del 2012, ed è sicuramente un progetto un po’ speciale, un po perchè questi braccialetti vanno molto di moda ultimamente, un po’ perchè sono tante le parole che si possono scrivere, non solo il proprio nome. In questo momento ho indosso la parola hope…. This could not be defined exactly a tutorial, I’ll let you just what is the secret to make these bracelets, here’s what you need: pliers, a golden thread and a thin chain with lobster clasp, and especially a pen and notebook. And here it is the trick, write your name with a pen trying not to ever remove the pen from the paper and trying to never pass twice from the same point (not always possible). What do you say?

Easy Ettika Bow Bracelet This tutorial is super fast and super easy! Ettika is a jewelry company popular among celebs and fashionistas alike, and their works have appeared in a ton of fashion magazines as well. This bow bracelet is totally doable for a DIY, and it doesn't require mad skills to make! This sells for $32 on their site. You can make yours for less than $3. As you can see, I made mine in silver; I wear a lot more silver and I had extra silver chain and findings on hand. Step 1: Gather materials. My ribbon was about 1cm. wide, but it's ok if the size varies a little, it won't change the look entirely. Step 2: Make the bow. You should end up with a bow in the center of your length of ribbon. Step 3: Finish bow. Step 4: Add chain and finish. Loop these two chain lengths through the loops in the bow. Add the clasp to the end. If you share/use/post this tutorial, please link back to me.

Wrap Bracelet DIY I really loved the free people wrap bracelets (who wouldn't) but wanted something a bit more dressy because even though I see my self as this free spirit who walks barefoot in the grass and eats Tofu every chance I get, I am realistically closer to a meatball eating, tee shirt wearing gal who can be a bit high maintenance at times:) Woooo, that is a lot in one sentence. Finished and I just love it! I have a special occasion in the city coming up and I am excited to break out this new bracelet:)

Easy Gold Crochet Bow Bracelet I made the gorgeous Crochet Bow Bracelet after I saw something similar in a magazine. For the life of me I can't figure out which magazine I saw it in, but if I find it I promise to upload a pic and show you how similar it is. I used 28 Gauge wire and started with the bow.... I crocket a rectangle for the bow. The height of the bow depends on you, add more rows for a bigger bow, less for a smaller one, but I would use at least four rows to get a "fluffy" looking bow. I finished off the end of the rectangle and strung it into the edges. Braided Serpentine Bracelet DIY Ok, Ok its another bracelet. But, this ones really cool, really simple and really fast! This is one Bracelet DIY youll definitely want to add to your arm candy. Yarn – I used Bonbons from Lion BrandRhinestone trim2 jump rings1 Lobster claw closurePliersScissorsFabric glue (optional) step 1 Cut your rhinestone trim to just smaller than your wrist circumference. Measure out your yarn, depending on the thickness of your yarn you may want to use double strands for your braid. I measured my yarn to 30 inches and I used 6 strands of the 100% cotton Bonbons yarn. step 2 Tie all 6 strands of your yarn together in a knot at one end. Start your braid, cross your first strands over the other. Then lay your rhinestone trim on top of your braid and complete your braid by braiding around your trim. Braid your yarn for about 3 complete “braids” then pass one section of your yarn across your trim in between the rhinestones. Continue braiding 3 and passing your yarn across your trim.
