Happy Wednesday!!
The warmer weather is finally here…YES! Time to finally get out and get my crafting back on 🙂 I actually got this craft to occupy Hartley with the new baby but then also loved creating my own custom bracelets too. These boho bracelets are everywhere and some are just outrageously expensive for what they are. Soooo, what do I do? DIY-it. These cost me under $10 each and were so much fun to make and fit exactly to me. The initial investment of the jewelry cord will last you awhile so the possibilities of mixing beads and embellishments are endless. Price breakdown: $5 stones and tassels, $2 strand of beads, approx. $1 for portion of cord and glue.
What you will need:
- Beads of choice
- *Budget tip: Look for sales. I caught all the beading supplies on sale for 50-80% off
- 1 strand of beads seemed to be the perfect amount for my wrist size
- Optional embellishments: stones, tassels, etc.
- Stretch cord for beading
- Glue (jewelry or super)
Instructions:
Couldn’t be more simple!
- Start by cutting a 6-8″ of jewelry cord
- Then start threading your beads through
- Center embellishments and add tassels to end
- Once even on both sides, measure your wrist and make sure when tight you have enough beads covering your cord
- Then double knot your two cord ends together and seal with glue
So step into spring with these super fun boho bracelets. They are the perfect addition for any outfit and you can tailor to exactly your taste and personality. This would also be a wonderful ladies night craft. Get all your girlfriends together and have an amazing time making unique bracelets together. It would be so much fun to see what everyone makes. Happy spring crafting!
