Bracelets!

Hi Everyone! So today I'm sharing some bracelets! These bracelets are really cool because they can be handmade,are really quick to make and they look professional! To make a bracelet I have directions below.

Materials:

  • Bracelet chain (should be 1-2 inches bigger then the size of your wrist)
  • Scissors
  • Craftlace in the color of your choice (an inch bigger then the chain)
  • Jumprings and pliers (below is a pic of what jumprings are(only pic i had of them so it might be out of place), their used to close the bracelet and are pretty much little round metal rings)
*The materials can be found at craft stores such as Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Joann.

Directions:
1) Cut chain using pliers to 1-2 inches bigger then the size of your wrist.
2) Cut craftlace using scissors to an bigger then the chain.
3) Wrap the craftlace up and down through the chain holes until the end.
4) Cut any extra craftlace that's hanging from the chain.
5) Using pliers, attach a jumpring to the last hole on a side of the chain then to close the bracelet, attach the jumpring to the last hole on the other side of the chain. The bracelet should be done after this. :)

That's how you make the bracelet! I was just going to show the pics of the bracelets but also decided to do a small tutorial. If the directions aren't clear enough, I might do a video but it won't be this month.
Onto the pics of the bracelets, that you haven't seen yet!
 These are the bracelets I made so far. The 2 on the bottom are finished while the one on the top still needs to be finished.
                                                      Here's the blue bracelet.
                                                         And the pink bracelet.
                                       Then the blue bracelet that I'm not done with yet.
   Here's how it looks at the end, the little round ring attaching the 2 sides is the jumpring.
 And here's how it looks pretty when you make more then one and layer them up in different colors.
AWESOME :)
     And last but definitely not least, a smiley out of the bracelets that you made :)

I'm not posting the schedule for this week because this is the only post for this week :O
I know, I know, just started posting crafts again and only one post for this week, well I promise I will have more posts next week :) That's it for now! Keep On Crafting!

Summer! And more crafting!

Hi everyone! Surprised, right? Yup, I'm finally back! It's been soooooooooooooooooo long! Summer is finally here and I can definitely post like I used to! So my plans are to post atleast 4-5 times every week and at the beginning of the week I will have a "schedule" to show what I'm going to be posting that week. Just thought I should update now and I will Inshallah post tomorrow. This school year has been so long and I definitely didn't post that much so be excited for LOTS of fun crafting! Maybe no videos for this month, but I'll see if I can film one anytime soon. So that's it for now! Keep On Crafting! (missed saying that!)  :)
