Welcome to the
Hey Everyone,
Hope you all had great weekends. Its time for Inspiration Cafe again -
yay, so lets get started.
Today I'm going to show you how to make a Wrap Bracelet
There are so many of these wrap bracelets around blog world with loads
of great tutorials. I have to admit that when I first saw these
bracelets popping up on Pinterest I thought they would be too difficult
to make. That was until I saw a tutorial from Happy Hour Projects. So simple and so easy.
Here's what you need:
Cord, cotton for sewing,
a needle, beads (uniform in size) and a button.
I also used a clipboard
to secure the cord so that I could work neatly.
I roughly measured my wrist and allowed for a bit extra. Double the
length and cut the cord. At the bend in the cord (halfway mark) knot the
loop for the closure, make sure that your button will fit snugly through
the loop.
Here's how to sew it:
Thread the needle with a double thread
and secure to the cord.
I worked from left to right in a figure
8.
Thread the first bead onto the cotton
and pass under the right cord.
Loop over the right cord and thread back
through the bead.
Pass under the left cord and loop over -
thread the next bead on.
Again pass under the right cord.
Over.
Thread back through the bead.
Under the left cord and over. Thread the
next bead on.
Continue until you are
happy with the length, then secure the end of the cotton onto the cord
and cut off. Thread the button onto the cord ends and secure. I liked
the end pieces sticking out but you can cut them off for a neater
look.
Pretty easy
right?
I love it - its by far my
favourite bracelet to wear. And I get loads of compliments and "where
did you buy its" when I wear it.
I haven't had time
to make more yet, but I definitely will, and I think next time I will
make it longer so I can wrap it twice around my wrist.
I hope you enjoyed Inspiration Cafe today. Be back next week to
see what Mary from Sweet Little Bluebird has in store for us
Take care

Your bracelet turned out beautiful! Love how the bracelet is created in a way that the beads are turned like that.

I'm saving this page. I don't think I can actually make this but I sure love it! I wear jewelry like this every day! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bracelet. Great tutorial with beautiful pictures. I love when you get a compliment like 'where did you buy that' when it's something you've created. Those are the best compliments.
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial, but I'm not so sure I can make this beautiful bracelet. I will have to play with the beads and thread until I get it right. It looks lovely on your wrist and I can understand why you get so many compliments. It doesn't look handmade at all!
ReplyDeleteThis is a neat bracelet! I've been seeing these around for a while, but haven't ever really checked them out. Now that I see up close in detail, they don't look so difficult :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty, I might have a go at trying to make these with my daughter
ReplyDeleteit is so gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI need some new Fall bling, and you sure make this look doable.
