Jujub Jersey Bracelet

On my daily stalk of Ucreate on saturday I came across a fab tutorial on how to make a jersey rosette bracelet fraom the ladies over at JuJub, so as a break from doing my uni work I decided to make myself one... no doubt there will end up being more in many different colours too as they are great!

For mine I used an old thin knit scarf that I'm told by my boyfriend makes me look too studenty so I shouldn't be seen out with him wearing it... so it's being repurposed again into something that I can get away with wearing.. as if I'd throw one of my favourite scarves away permanently!

So here's my jersey rosette bracelet...

Lollystick bracelets

Working through my pinterest board of ideas and again.... todays project was lollystick bracelets made using Suzy's tutorial over at Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom...

I didn't paint mine though, I chose mod podge and tissue paper to decoupage them instead :)

So here's my take on Suzy's tutorial...

Ribbons & Pearls

Guess I'm on a bit of a jewellery making spree at the moment, but then a girl can never have too many shoes, bags or jewellery can she?

So here are 2 super quick and easy to make bracelets that only need ribbon, pearls and some strong thread, there's tutorials out there on how to make them but it really is just thread on a pearls and wrap the ribbon round, thread through and then thread another pearl till it's the right length.

I'm linking this to some of the lovely parties linked on the right hand side.

In other news I now have a proper 'like' box on here for the facebook page so come along and 'like' it please :)

Fabric scraps pom pom bracelet tutorial

Here's another fabric scrap pom pom bracelet that I've made. i was emailed to ask if I could make a tutorial for it and it's takena little longer than planned but I've finally gotten round to it.

To make one of these you'll need the bits shown in the photo and a small scrap of felt.

1. Cut your piece of fabric into 4 equal strips. Put one to the side as this is for the pom pom later.

2. Put a dab of glue on the inside of the bracelet and adhere one end of the fabric to it. Wrap the fabric round, dab another blob of glue on and adhere the fabric.

3.Continue to do this till the whole bracelet is wrapped. (If you have a claps like my bracelet does then trial wrapping the fabric and opening/closing the bracelet before you glue it to make sure it works still)
4. Once the bracelet is fully wrapped glue the fabric end to the inside of the bracelet and trim off any excess fabric.

5. For the pom pom, take the spare fabric strip, cut it into 8 pieces then cut a circle from each roughly the same size.

6. Cut an equal size circle from the scrap of felt as well.

7. Dab a small blob of hot glue into the centre of a fabric circle.

8. Whilst the glue is still soft scrunch the fabric together, holding it at the glue blob till it dries.

9. Do the same with the remaining 7 fabric circles.

10. Glue one of the scrunched fabric circles to the centre of the felt circle.

11. Glue the other 7 scrunched fabric circles onto the felt so that none of the felt is visible, this completes the pom pom.

12. Glue the back of the felt and stick the pom pom onto the bracelet.

13. Trim any rough, uneven edges from the pom pom till it's even and tidy.

14. Put your bracelet on and wear with everything, then make one with every fabric scrap you have lol.
