How to make your own fabulous bracelets

I love huge bracelets and that i cannot lie! This DIY ribbon and chain bracelet appearance therefore awing worn either alone or stacked with all of your alternative faves. It’s a good addition to your accessories for Summer.
What you need:
(1)wide ribbon
(2)5 Large beads
(3)Hot glue
(4)Needle and thread

Instructions:

  1. Using your beading needle thread your ribbon through your needle and weave it through your chain. Be sure to leave equal amounts of ribbon on either end of your chain.
  2. Next you will glue your beads to your chain. Start in the middle and glue your first bead. Spacing your beads equally, glue the remaining 4 beads to your chain. I spaced mine about 1 inch apart.
  3. Using your needle and thread, sew your beads to your chain. This is just an extra precaution to make sure your beads stay on your bracelet. I wrapped the thread through each bead 2 times before tying it off.
  4. In between your beads you will add your small roses. Using your glue; place a small amount on each rose and press it onto your chain.
Tips:
  • This bracelet lends itself to a lot of customizing. You can mix up the colors and pick your faves. Let me know what you come up with.
  • You can buy ribbon from a wholesale ribbon website.
