Summer time means a lot of bright colored accessories to go with those evergreen pair of denim shorts and tee shirts. Instead of spending on bracelets why not just sit at home and make them ourselves right? Well here's a step guide for you all to learn quickly and create a bracelet with your favorite colors and add the extra funk to your look!
- Start off by measuring and cutting the length of your chain for your bracelet. I've cut the chain for the standard 7 inch bracelet here. But for your personal perfect length, measure the circumference of your own wrist then add half an inch.
- Next is the measuring and cutting the length of your suede lace. The length should be 3 times the length of your bracelet. So in my tutorial here I've measured it for 21 inches since I’m planning to have a 7 inch bracelet.
- Lay your 2 chains next to each other. Take your suede lace and loop and tighten it around the 2 inner loops of the 2 chain pieces to bind them together. It if you like you can tie a knot to make it extra section, but I find just looping it through is enough. Make sure both ends of the lace are the same length.
- Creating this cross style bracelet is very much like lacing your shoelaces. Take the 2 ends and cross them and thread them forward through the next chain link.
- You basically repeat this alternation the direct you thread through (front to back, or back to front) to create this ‘X’ stitch. My photo tutorial between steps 5 to 8 show the exact movement of how the strands are woven for a little more detail.
- Once you come to the end of your chain, snip off the excess end of lace and secure ends by tying off and gluing the ends down with a hot glue gun.
- Add jump rings and clasps to finish off the bracelet.AND you're ready to flaunt your very own DIY ringed Bracelet!
