DIY Wrap Bracelet
You should all know by now that we are all about stacking bracelets on our wrists. The more, the better. In fact . . . the most, the best! With that being said, we’ll show you how to master a version of the ever so popular wrap bracelet. It’s so simple and addicting, you’ll soon be churning out these wristlets with your eyes closed. Clearly this arm party train isn’t stopping and it’s about time you get on board! You’ll need (for a double wrapped bracelet) :* Lengths will vary depending on the size of your wrist (see comments for suggestions). Fold the length of leather cording in half to form a loop. Place the ball chain along the leather cording with the end of the chain meeting the end of the wrap. Continue wrapping while checking it for fit around the wrist. When you have reached the end of the ball chain wrap the linen cording around the leather strands 2-3 more times. Thread the hex nut through the strands and tie a second knot. Trim with scissors and your wrap bracelet is finished!!

DIY Friendship Necklace
As soon as Lauren and I saw this editorial in Flare Magazine, we knew we had to recreate these awesome, friendship bracelet-like necklaces. We promise they are super easy to make and the perfect way to pass the time during those long summer roadtrips. To make a 2-tone necklace, cut a long piece of rope and wrap two different colors of embroidery thread around its own bobbin. Tie a starter knot along with the two colored threads you are using, leaving at least 3 inches of slack, Tape down the slack to a flat surface or safety pin it something that will help keep it in place (feeling nostalgic yet?). To alternate colors, simply put the inactive color (red) in your left hand and the new active color (purple) in your right. Once you’re done knotting, add a few nuts and/or washers to the necklace.
Dare to DIY: DIY: Personaliza tus tazas y objetos de porcelana
Hello mis DIYers!! Con el DIY de hoy me he quitado una espinita: ya puedo tachar la decoración de tazas con rotuladores de mi interminable lista de experimentos pendientes... Me parecía interesante dedicarle un vídeo a esta idea porque, a pesar de que es bastante popular entre quienes vivimos de cerca el "movimiento" Do It Yourself, mucha gente todavía no la conoce. Consiste en pintar objetos de porcelana (como tazas, jarrones, platos etc.) con rotuladores permanentes y luego meterlos en el horno para fijar el dibujo. ¡Creo que voy a empezar a regalar tazas decoradas compulsivamente a todo el mundo! Y ahora, los puntos a tener en cuenta: _Después de hornear, algunas líneas negras me han quedado un poco desvanecidas, aunque supongo que las podría repasar y volver a hornear. _He hecho la prueba de lavarlo a mano y no he tenido ningún problema, pero quiero ver qué pasa en el lavavajillas, porque no estoy muy segura de que aguante intacto. ¿Qué os parece el resultado? Un besazo!
DIY Braided Hex Nut Bracelet
We’re nuts for nuts. Is there a more versatile and inexpensive DIY component than a hex nut from the hardware store? You can imagine our excitement when we first discovered Philip Crangi’s Giles & Brother Hex Collection. Honestly, nuts braided into jewelry is WTF genius! With a few items that we always seem to have lying around, we tackled the technique and made our own spine-like braided hex nut wrap bracelet. You’ll need:3 strands of cotton butcher’s twine cut into one yard pieces18 small brass hex nutsa bit of dexterity! Gather the 3 strands of twine and tie a knot at the top, leaving about 2 inches of slack. Keep your thumb at the base of the braid, holding the nut in its place. Repeat the steps, by threading the rest of the nuts to the outer pieces of twine before they are crossed over. The bracelet should wrap around your wrist at least two or three times. Good luck!!
