I was watching missglamorazzi's GIY Wrap Bracelet video the other day and I was inspired to start making my own bracelets again. I looked up some craft stores in my city (a surprising lack of them!) and then I hopped, skipped and danced my way down to one to snap up some materials.
Along with some old charms I had bought from Hong Kong last year, I incorporated missglamorazzi's braiding technique and came up with something a little unique!
From the craft store, I bought some craft cord, suede cord, gold beads and some bracelet closures. They're very inexpensive from craft stores or you can probably buy in bulk on ebay but you won't get the pleasure of seeing the sizes and colours in person.
I added those little star charms that I bought from Hong Kong last year and I think it turned out pretty well! I'm going to research some different ways of braiding the cord so I can make some more and stack them on my wrist!
I love this style of bracelet because you can mix and match them and stack them up with different styles! They would also make perfect gifts for friends or family! Because they are homemade, they will cost you a fraction of the price you would pay in the high street stores, plus you will have fun making them!
What do you think? Have you tried making your own bracelet's before?

ah so cute! i can guarantee if i attempted this i'd fail miserably :P xx
ReplyDeleteAww, don't say that! They're really easy to make, plus if it doesn't look uniform, you'll definitely have a unique bracelet! :)

These look lovely, I really do need to have a go at making my own because they can be so expensive to buy x
ReplyDeleteI'm always surprised by how much shops charge for a bracelet like this! It's fun to make too :)
