DIY Rope Bracelets

These beauties are perfect for summer accessorizing and you can make them yourself! Make them in different color combo's and in varieties of ropes.
Together with my crafty bestie we made these awesome bracelets; check out her Pinterest and get inspired by her creative inspiration! 
 What you'll need;
- Rope (thick)
- String
- Big clasp
- Washi tape, scissors, crazy glue
1. Measure the rope to your wrist
2. Tape each end of the rope to the middle, with the clasp at each side
3. Wrap your thinner string around the middle and secure with some crazy glue 
 Et Voila! Ready to rock your summer accessories!

Get Crafty This Weekend

 After yesterdays post I wanted to share a little of my jewelry making tips. Above you see my latest creations of necklaces and bracelets. below you see how it usually starts off (one big pile of crafties). I like to get all of it out so I can see what I have and see which colors or textures fit nice together and ofcourse I like to clash colors; neons with black and whites, opposites attract instead of keeping it safe in the same color pallet.
 The first and third necklace (see pictures above) I braided. The first was braided, including the bolts as you go along. 
With the second necklace I wrapped multiple ropes together.
*Tip; Stick your rope down with washi tape
 If wrapping other twine or so around the rope, secure it by melting the ends or by superglueing them. 
(superglue = my friend)
Last step is to attach a clasp (use your pliers for this) 
*Tip; find clasps at a arts & crafts store or reuse one from an old necklace!

Black 'n White Crop Top

 I have been collecting ropes, string and other materials that I'm attracted to over the past few months and I have never actually done anything with them until this necklace. Rope items are this springs and summers hottest accessories and it is really cool to be able to say; "I did it myself".
Get inspired this weekend and make your own rope necklace!
