Round Button Fabric Bracelet

So, my friend Sommer and I made these super cute rounded fabric bracelets. I'll explain the how-to's of it below.

Materials Needed:

Hot glue gun

Ribbon or thread

Two different fabrics

First, gather 8 make your own buttons.(There is a front and a back.)

Then, you want to cut out small little square pieces of fabric. Make sure to make it slightly bigger than the button, so you have enough room to glue! Attach the back when the fabric is glued down. Repeat this step seven more times. Then, take your string or elastic thread and string them all. Tie when finished! The process is quite simple, but the result is so adorable!

I also went thrifting today on my lunch break at Haven of Mercy! I must say I was VERY happy! I got two things for $1.60 ! Yay! Look, look, look! 

Thought this would be SO cute to put my buttons in. I desperately need to organize the craft room. 

Then, I got an awesome black marble and silver necklace! Love it!

Ribbon and Bead Bracelet

So, today Sommer and I made cute bracelets! We were inspired by some other bracelets that we saw in stores. So, we made an altered version. I really like how they turned out!

Materials Needed:
Ribbon of choice
Various beads big and small of choice
Elastic jewelery string

First, gather whatever beads you want to use for your bracelet. Then, string them on some elastic beading wire.

This is what it will look like after it is strung. Make it a little looser than your wrist, so the ribbon will be able to fit. Then, you tie the ribbon in the middle of the bracelet with two even sides hanging down. Start on one side, and start tieing knots just around both sides of the big beads. Then, do the other side. Then, tie the two sides together when finished. It should look something like the picture at the beginning. :) Try it out! It's a lot of fun, and comment if you do it. I'd love to see them!
