Inspired by a similar bracelet from Pinterest, I made this little thing from items found in my jewelry box and craft boxes. Take a couple of unused necklaces, lace, and beads and you've got a new bracelet. I left the necklaces whole, just in case I'd rather have the necklace instead of the bracelet again.
Materials:
Bracelet: (each 8" in length (mine) or your bracelet circumference + 2")
Lace
beads
chains
ribbon
Tie:
Lace or Ribbon long enough to create a bow. (mine 18")
In my case I used a 15" pearl necklace and 15" gold chain. These were doubled in the bracelet.
Directions:
1. Tie all of your bracelet strands together at one end with wire, ribbon, or thread.
2. Slip the bow ribbon/lace through the tied end.
3. Tie the tied end to hang it up.
I used the post of a kitchen chair.
4. Braid tightly.
5. Tie remaining end together.
6. Slip bow lace/ribbon through and tie it into a nice bow. It's ready to wear!
Happy Sewing! (well, crafting this week)
