You should all know by now that we are all about stacking bracelets on our wrists. The more, the better. In fact . . . the most, the best! With that being said, we’ll show you how to master a version of the ever so popular wrap bracelet. It’s so simple and addicting, you’ll soon be churning out these wristlets with your eyes closed. Clearly this arm party train isn’t stopping and it’s about time you get on board!
You’ll need (for a double wrapped bracelet) :
- 44-55 inches* of 1.5mm leather cord
- 12-15 inches* of brass ball chain or crystal chain
- 58-72 inches* of waxed linen cord (scroll down in link)
- a 1/4″ brass hex nut
- a pair of scissors
* Lengths will vary depending on the size of your wrist (see comments for suggestions).
Fold the length of leather cording in half to form a loop. The loop should fit around the hex nut, which serves as the clasp. Run the tip of the waxed linen upwards along the leather cord and towards the loop. Then wrap around the base of the loop at least 5-6 times, working downwards in the opposite direction. This secures the waxed linen cord and is the start of the bracelet.
Place the ball chain along the leather cording with the end of the chain meeting the end of the wrap. Holding the ball chain against the leather cord, wrap the linen around tightly.
Continue wrapping while checking it for fit around the wrist.
When you have reached the end of the ball chain wrap the linen cording around the leather strands 2-3 more times. Tie a knot with all three strands.
Thread the hex nut through the strands and tie a second knot.
Trim with scissors and your wrap bracelet is finished!!
The materials are listed for a double wrap bracelet. For a single or triple wrapped bracelet, divide the measurements by 2 and multiply by accordingly. Experiment with crystal or other types of chain!
It’s a party!

Seriously?! This is awesome. You had me at the friendship bracelet how-to (totally made some — made my inner 10-year-old ecstatic). But SERIOUSLY! This is freakin’ awesome. Just think of what else, other than those little balls, you could use to make this with, erm, like BIG brass ball chains? Hello, Genius!
I’ve known about making this sort of bracelet using individual beads but never thought of using chain… SO. MUCH. EASIER! Can’t wait to try it–thanks for another fabulous DIY!
amazin!! i luv it!!
This is beautiful and amazing! A definite DIY project for me.

super easy to make, it’s so frustrating i can’t find size 1.5 mm only 1.00 mm leather or 2.00 mm. i’ll probably use the cup chain on the 1.00 mm leather cord
C’est vraiment très joli et si simple à réaliser!

Wow! I have been admiring these bracelets in the stores for a while now, but have never bought them because I thought that I should try to make them myself. But before I saw this DIY, I never thought it would be so easy! Thanks!
i loveee these bracelets , i want onnee (:
you inspire me! thank you so much for this!
Great tutorial! I’ll have to put this one on my list of crafts to make!
I really want to try this out..they are all gorgeous!
Hey! So I did this and it looks great, but I need some advice. I am using diamond chain and I can’t keep it in a straight line. It wants to twirl around the bracelet so it doesn’t have very clean lines. Any advice?
Just made one 🙂 Thanks for the awesome tutorials!
Tutorial yang oke. Boleh contek ya..
This tutorial is great! Me and my friend just made a ton of these, except instead of using the leather chord, we used hemp that we had left over from another project. We love them.

I love wrap bracelets! I recently made one using a different method of adding on the beads individually. It took forever to finish, but I’m really happy with the way it came out. http://www.champagneandmarshmallows.com/2011/07/vintage-skirt-and-necklace-top-by.html
I really like this way of using a strand of beads and just wrapping it around the cord. It must of taken much less time! I’ll have to try it!
Wow this is great! I must try this sometime this summer. Thanks for the tutorial 🙂
Where can I buy waxed linen cord & leather cord in a store, not online??? any general types of stores or specific would be great!! thanks 🙂
Waxed linen cord can be purchased at Hobby Lobby!
I love this idea! So cool.

Crap, I just purchased a Chan Luu wrap bracelet online, could have made my own with your guide. I’ll still try it, this is marvellous!
Gorgeous arm candy! Thank you so much….I adore the Links of London friendship bracelets and have been searching for age for a more purse friendly diy project.
These are cute, i might have to try and make these.
Also i make similar bracelets (slightly bigger) at http://ohsocharming.bigcartel.com
Very cute,like the Idea Thanks !
I made like 6 of these tonight! Some came out too long some too short. You have to make them too long then wrap them around your wrist before tying off with the nut to make sure they fit right. ALSO, if you make loose double bracelet it can double as a pretty single choker! ENJOY!
What a bunch of loosers! I lost count half way down the list! Go out into the real world and do something useful.
OMG!! Brilliant!!
You girls rock!! LOVE THIS!! You are my diy idols with a little g 🙂
this is amazing! just made one, and it came out perfect! the only thing I did do differently is instead of the brass ball chain I substituted it with pearls and it worked out really good! looks like i bought it:)
Just made one of these! I love it! Definitely more coming in the future 😀
there really cool nd stuff
this is nice, will try to make one for my friends
These are pretty and simple to make …. keep sending the simple stuff.
LOve this DIY I actually may be able to do these they look so easy to make!
I agree… WTF….lol. Seriously, I love it!
I want to surprise my daughter with a few of these! Thanks!
very beauty
I just would like to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you have here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.
These look really wounderful. Thanks for sharing this with us. I will definitely try this at home.

If you make such a Beauty could we join some forces and make a Collection in Pink for Breast Cancer Pink Day??
Love it…and soooo easy!!
i just made some with pearls strung on wire so far apart that i could double-wrap a thinner leather cord between them. it’s a really rad combination of rugged and refined! awesome tutorial, i want to make, like, eighteen of them!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!!!! The possibilities are endless. I just whipped up my first one in no time. Improvising by using the materials I had on hand. I used suede cording, swarovski pearls, copper wire and my own lampwork bead as part of the clasp. SWEET!
I totally agree with Clancey…the combination of pearls and leather hits the mark for rugged yet refined.
I can’t thank you enough for this. I have been searching for a way to combine my beads with leather and this has got my brain in over drive right now. I’m off to make more. WooHoo!!!
Absolutely love these! However, I just made one, and it twisted all up on me, even though I kept the ball chain straight on the leather. How do I get the leather cording to lie straight – any suggestions? For others that asked, I used waxed cotton cord (not linen) and leather cord from Michaels Crafts, and I got the ball chain (3mm) at Ace Hardware.
awesome tutorial! i just finished making mine. but since i couldnt go out and buy the materials and looked through my jewelry drawer and found: old embroidery thread for friendship bracelets, a rhinestone bracelet so old that it stretched out (making it easier to get the thread around), and an old faded rope bracelet. Voila, i recycled old materials to create something adorable. thanks for the tutorial! :]
awesome!!
Very inspiring, thank you. Would love some Sobergoose pieces in the future. There is not enough men’s jewellery out there! Well not that I know of anyway!?
you are sooo talented and creative! Love your blog and You are such an inspiration to my art work. Thanks!
I love these! But I tried making one and had the same twisting issue that Kaia had. How do you get these to lay straight? It is in the way you wrap the wax thread? Help!
@B & @Kala, there will naturally be some twisting but not too much. perhaps the leather cord is too thin compared to the waxed linen? also, be sure to line the chain in between the folded leather cords. good luck!
It is amazing. So simple can make the hand catenary of individual character, thanks for your sharing!
So, nice to see inspiring creative tutorial. Found this via Stumble Upon.
Cool,idea! Looks good too.
cute. i’ll probably give it a try…i love making my own ethnic and bohemian accessories as well…
keep it up! would like to see more of those…^^,

Wicked bracelets, can’t wait to get to start creating, thank you:)
I love this idea. It’s very nice. However, I have a very small wrist and the measurements for the double wrapped bracelet were too small. I would add extra inches to both the cord and waxed cord so you don’t have to start over like me….
love it.
http://daytodayprincess.blogspot.com/ read my blog 🙂
Very awesome bracelets, i was also wondering where your globe charm bracelet is from, i feel like ive seen it before but i cant remember, thanks!
THIS IS SO AWESOME! Been wanting to have an arm party for the longest time. 🙂
LOVE these bracelets. I have larger wrists so I had to change the lengths a little bit. I also used glass beads instead of the brass ball chain. It adds just a little more personality since there are so many different color options. This is such a wonderful idea and everyone I know will soon have one on their wrist =]
Ornamentea is awesome! Go Raleigh! 🙂
Love Love Love all the friendship inspired necklaces and bracelets. Can’t wait to make my own to take on my upcoming trip.
Coooool! I love it! Keep the posts coming!
Kewl!!! The bracelet looks very pretty and creative as well! I would love to make one this weekend! Thanks for sharing dear.

Oh wow! These look incredible and seem so easy to put together. Great idea.
heading to the craft store right now…i must have.
I have to try this. This may be fun for me to try with my girls. always trying to find something to keep them busy. 😉
Your DIY section is so lovely – I wish I made more effort to look for all the materials so that I can try them all out! This term break I will…
Adore your blog, and especially thanks for sharing the beet cake video by tiger in a jar, fell in love with their blog!

oh my god thats so cool i am so trying that!
Love love love your DIYs! Could you please maybe consider doing Native American Barrettes as a DIY?
I am in love with these: http://shop-generalstore.com/barrettes.html, but for $36.00 for a pair of two, I feel like there must be a DIY solution!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for this DIY! I tried it and loved how they came out. Today I even made about 10 more. Your DIY projects are awesome and well explained! Check out my blog post about them HERE: http://amandasphotogarden.blogspot.com/2011/07/do-diy-wrap-bracelets.html. Thanks!

I’m also having trouble with the leather cord not twisting. It’s a little frustrating because when it is around my wrist the ball chain faces down. Maybe I need to take it apart and play with the leather to wear it out.
Awsome!! Must try this <3
Where do you purchase your ball chain and leather? Do you purchase it in bulk online or in local craft store? Just wondering where the cheapest place is to find it. Thanks!
@Laura, the links in the supply list (beginning of the tutorial) will direct you straight to where to buy the chain and leather!!!
Amazingly simple and super stylish!
I have like 4 bracelets like this already but I cant wait to actually make them myself. I have no idea they were so easy. <3 <3
i also had a problem with the measurements being too small, i would definitely add a couple inches to the ball chain. the first one i made is too small to wrap twice, way too big to wrap once, too big for an anklet, and too small for a choker… =(
Tiiight!
So much easier than I thought it would be! Thank you for sharing the how to, I cant wait to make some myself.
I just made one of these and it turned out awesome! I do agree the measurements were a little small and I have very small wrists. I would recommend not cutting until you are done. I used black leather cord (2mm) and silver ball chain with a silver washer (from my husband’s garage) instead of a hex nut. Not as bulky. The only thing I would do different is I had very small ball chain and it would look better with ball chain that is larger diameter. Mine wouldn’t fit around twice so I just made it a single wrap. Can’t wait to make more.
So cute! I’m definitely going to be trying to do this.

http://making50fabulous.blogspot.com/2011/07/sunday-best-link-parade.html
Love your diy’s, but found it near impossible to wrap the waxed linen around the brass ball chain and leather strap without a bit of hot glue. With that extra step though, the bracelets I have made so far came out lovely. Thanks!
i also made some bracelets 🙂
http://laveur.blogspot.com/2011/08/diy-wrap-bracelet.html
LOVE IT! I’ve already made four or five for myself. I couldn’t find the waxed linen cords, but found some hemp cord that works just as good (plus my hippie friends LOVE that it’s natural). Didn’t have time to go to Home Depot so stumbled on the clearance rack and found lots of perfect odds n “ends” that work just as good. Plus, they’re all diferent designs, adds a great “charm”
very nyc.,,:))
Maybe I’m wrong, but I think that in that web: http://www.manualidadesfaciles.es/pulsera-de-la-amistad/ they are using some of your work without mentioning you. Maybe that information is of your interest.
Nice job! 😉
What a fabulous idea! I have a ton of colored chain and will give this a try.
I saw this tutorial and loved the bracelet, but didn’t have all the materials so I substituted a rubber band for the leather cord and some embroidery floss for the waxed linen cord and it actually worked! Of course it doesn’t look as polished as the one pictured above, but I think it actually passes for a decent bracelet. Thanks so much for the tutorial and inspiration 🙂
omg! i love this i always wear bracelets! (: cool!
Love this idea. Came out so great! Measurements definitely too small though. Need to add a couple inches.
love this! Though, like some others have mentioned, gotta add 2 or so inches.
where to buy the thing “you need” ?

made a super long version of this bracelet today and posted about them on my blog! thanks for the tutorial. it worked great! cheers.

Absolutely LOVE these, made around 10 but had to give half away cause all my girls loved them. I also had to make them a little longer. Thanks for the inspirational DIY’s!
this is so amazing!
i just saw these at juicy couture! for 54$?!?!
http://www.juicycouture.com/jewelry/bracelets/yjru4802/set-of-three-bangle-set
LOVE this. Making one right now 🙂
Can anyone tell me the secret to NOT getting them all twisted??? When I make these the ball chain twists around with the cord and it does not lay flat when worn (like in the photos). Anyone else have this issue— and a solution? Thanks
Love it!! Def will be making these!!
so easy to do , and they so look store-bought!
makes a great gift 🙂
Thank you for sharing such good ideas.

I just tried this D.I.Y. and I think I did a pretty okay job! You can see my results on my blog post at http://www.circasundayafternoon.blogspot.com. I saw this and I just had to try it!
xo Louisa
This is my first attempt: http://campl.us/dMzJ — It’s a little twisted, but the second one I made, I made sure I only rotated the wax linen cord so the entire bracelet is pretty straight. Plus I like the wax linen cord because you can mold it to go the way you want if it does become twisted. I think other materials are not as pliable. And the last benefit of the wax linen cord is that it is a little “sticky” so you really don’t have to tie knots–just make sure you wrap tightly. The measurements on the tutorial is perfect for a wrist size of 5 1/4 inches.
The measurements may be a little small for some wrists, so just be careful to measure your actual wrist size! But great tutorial!!
amazing. good idea. now every one creates their own wrists accessories. thanks for the nice info…
like this, thank for your share good ideas
Thanks for sharing this. I’m definitely going to try this. So awesome!
i have always wanted to change my look but i dont know how to change so fast
Hey
What a great DIY.
I like the photos, what camera and lenses did you use?
Very nice macros; And bracelets are great too in fact
Cool
wau nice!just wanna try it immediatelly 🙂
http://kateonskate.blogspot.com/
This is fantastic! My girls will LOVE it. Thank You! 🙂
I’m with Emily – all twisted! I will confess to using embroidery thread as I couldn’t find the waxed linen cord, but I don’t think that was the problem – as it was the little balls moving between the 2 bits of leather that were a problem. Mine certainly don’t look as nice as the pics – but still look good as I used black leather, 2 colours of thread, with silver balls as I could only get stainless steel hex nuts.
me encanta su diy!, son geniales!
These are definitely so cool! I’m going to try this myself!
Following you blog!

http://thepinkmateproject.blogspot.com/
amazing. good idea, LOVE this. Making one right now
just shared this on my facebook page…this is a great diy bracelet…loveit!
Quick question. I was not able to keep the leather cord from twisting so the ball chain is not clearly evident. Any ideas on how to straighten it out?
Thanks for the great tut. I just saw the inspiration piece here on vacation and was shocked at the prices! This will do well.
sooooooo cool! i love it!
instead of the wax linen cord, can i use string that would be used to make friendship bracelets?
I absolutely love this idea… definitely going to try this.
Wow. My stumble upon account brought us to this page. My sister and I saw it and left immediately to get the supplies. We’ve made 3 so far and we love them! Thanks for the idea! 🙂 We LOVE it!!
it so nice
i like it so much. i want to try it by myself.
cool..i like it
I love this idea! I will definately try it out 😀
wowwa
this is so lovely, I am inspired and will attempt to make it…When I do, I’ll prob feature this for inspiration
Great WORK!!! Going to the craft store tomorrow!
Love this ! Thanx for sharing it with us !
This is a fantastic DIY and I really enjoyed making it
Thank you!
@Donna C., I had the same problem! Easy to make, but I wanted it like the pic, where it doesn’t twist.. did you find a solution? Thanks!
The wrap bracelet is so cool!

love it! after going to the hardware store and then bead store, i made three bracelets in about half an hour! they’re lovely! i think for the fastener, I am going to switch out the hex with a pretty wooden button–very ethnic. Thanks for sharing this link!

Wow So beautiful
I love this idea! I had a lot of trouble finding supplies (went to ACMoore and Michael’s). I actually found them for really cheap at Walmart 🙂
I love this so much, definitely trying this asap!
But im thinking you make this look easier then it is, hopefully i don’t fail, love the look of heaps of them together, can’t wait to give it a go!!
thank you so much.
Just made one 🙂 Thanks for the awesome tutorials!

I arrived to this page from StumbleUpon this morning and by this afternoon I had my own wrap bracelet! I love it, I can’t wait to make a LOT more of these 🙂
Very nice bracelets.
love this i had to pin it
These are so cute and so simple. Need to plan a little craft party…
yeah.i like your point
This looks soo cool i can’t wait to make it!!!
I am completely obsessed with your DIY section. I just finished making a bunch of these and I am so surprised at how easy it was and how many variations you can have. So many great gift ideas! I am currently attempting the Woven Chain Bracelet so pretty!!!
Wow, that is really beautiful. It deserves anything!!!!
it’s so amazing,I like it very much http://www.onlineshopshoe.com
Online Shop Shoes the same so interesting
this is absolutly amazing i have to try it!!!
ITS SO SIMPLE THING I LIKE SO MUCH ^^
How small are your wrists because your measurements ran small for me.
won thank you
nice info, thx so much
So cool and simple! Great idea!
i like it too
that is fantastic and impressive
Love this but when I made it it was twisted and didn’t lie straing on my wrist–what did I do wrong? 🙁
These bracelets are so cute and easy to make! You can substitute the leather cord for black “Primary Cable Wire” from Lowe’s or any home appliance store. It’s very flexible and cheap!
WONDERFUL! really great; and ADorable!!!
POPPIN BITCH
nice idea!!!
greetings,
http://yumyumeten.wordpress.com/
this is lovely! wanna try this one soon.. 🙂
wait are these supposed to wrap around your wrist two times? and would someone please tell me where to get supplies needed to make these bracelets? 😮
a stupid man
It’s good to see so much fashion information in one site.
thanks .It was interesting.
thanks for that it was very interesting and creative, would like to now more
I want it! 🙂
Sooooo sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
i am definitely gonna try this
Made it. Wore it. LOVE IT!
About the easiest and coolest bracelet ive made! I love your blog!
Hmm it’s not hard to do after all…great. thanks for sharing and making life so much easier in terms of hand decoration 🙂
Check out http://www.mydirtyearth.com if your looking to buy one at a reasonable price. They sell them for like $69 for a 4 wrap one, and the quality is even better in person. I would definitely recommend them if you just dont have the time to make them, but great job!
I have made a couple and they twist on me…still look OK, but i am not happy with the twist…What do y’all think I’m doing wrong? Am I wrapping it too tight? Am I WRAPPED TOO TIGHT?
Some say “no”…
Now I can make my friends cool birthday presents!!!
love this idea. I shared it on my blog, broadcast it a bit and I am getting a ton of hits – I hope you are too

I made these and they turned out so nicely!
I used cord from the leash of our family pet who recently died, so they are also super sentimental.
Check em at:

Oh my, I love these! I am going to get the materials ASAP!
So going to try out this! 🙂
beautiful! can’t wait to make one <3
Fell in love with these bracelets as soon as I saw them and ran out to make one. If you live in the US, you can make the crystal chain version using materials from your local Michael’s Craft Stores. I used the 2mm brown leather cord from the leather craft section, found crystal chain from the jewelry section and the replaced the waxed linen cord with waxed cotton cord from the cord section. You can see my version here: http://bit.ly/oUobbl
I can’t wait to make these for my daughters…
Im surely gonna make one gr88……..

I just wanted to ask something. Does anyone know how to make macrame bracelets? I have a picture that seems like a macrame bracelet but I’m not really sure cause there are like five colours in it so i couldn’t figure it out. I’m gonna post a link so if anyone could help me It’d make me super happy!!!

I really love your DIY post. Thank you so much for a great site
Very nice pictures to
Thank you!
Just finished making 3 single wraps using rhinestone chain and hemp chord on a cotton twisted chord (that looks like leather). Found it all at Michael’s, but used silver hex nuts from the garage. They came out great, but the rhinstone chain was A PAIN! The rhinestone links would slide close and then far apart. For the right look, I wanted them close together. It was really hard to keep it that way while wrapping the hemp chord. And when finished, the chain wants to spread out. I don’t think this will keep it’s look and shape after repeated wearings, but I am hopeful. If I make them again, I will need to re-think the materials. Might use a thicker chord for wrapping so I can let the rhinestones spread apart.
WOW!!! Such a great idea, it look wonderful, thanks for sharing 🙂
i just did this project and it turned out great! thank you so much for sharing with us.
As for the twisting, I think the problem is using the 1.5mm thin leather. When I compare the 1.5mm that I have to the leather in the picture, I think that the size they used might have been a larger diameter. Perhaps that’s why they seem to be lying so flat. Mine are virtual cork screws.
WOW! Perfect! Very nice, I LOVED this post.
I love these bracelets and definitely want to make some! The only problem is that I’m vegan, and I don’t use leather or suede or any other animal products. Do you know of a suitable substitution for the leather cord that I can use?
I appreciate, lead to I discovered exactly what I was looking for. You’ve ended my four day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day. Bye
i just made one and it turned out great!! make someeee
Hi and have a nice day i’m new here i love this i try to do it

That looks awesome! Looks super similar to this style.
great idea .. i just loved it.. thanks for sharing! 🙂
Wow~ cool! I like the DIY very much
TKS for your share!
Love it! Going to the craft store asap!
Wow, how low class is this?
So amazing. Christmas presents sorted!! TA. 🙂 x
fantastic!
Wow, good ideaa!! xxxxx
My daughter and I are making these as Christmas gifts to give to her friends and cousins. We have made a few changes with things we had in our craft stuff, like, instead of the metal chain bead we are using plastic beads that you can buy by the yard real cheap, and we are using embroidery floss to wrap the beads on to leather lacing that I had. I still made a few with some silver nuts that my husband had in the garage, but the others we used larger beads and bracelet clasp on the ones we did not use leather with. They turned out really nicely!!
What’s the best resource for great bright colors of waxed linen and rhinestone chain etc?
Mmmm, would try it myself soon! 🙂

appreciated !
Wow!!! OMG It’s looks delicious!!! I want it now!!!!! OwO Fantanstic!!!!
Oooh I love this! These bracelets are fantastic! I can’t wait to try making one. I’ve been searching for some great holiday gift ideas, and this might just be perfect! I also love your blazer, it looks a lot like one I have in my boutique.

Love it!!!!!! Very easy and a good idea as a christmas gift…

What size is best for the rhinestone chain; 2.5mm or 4.1mm?
thank you so much sister!
their beautiful
I’ve been looking for this type of information for my research. Thanks
Just made my first bracelet. It was super easy and looks so great! Can’t wait to make more!
Very very clever. And cheap to make too.
How clever ! I like DIY Wrap Bracelet, but you will be like fashion jewelry bracelet: http://www.loveourjewelry.com/bracelets
I just made a bunch of these as stocking stuffers for all the boys in my neighborhood since I made rolled fabric rosette clips for all the girls! I used some liquid bead fix at the ends where i wrapped the waxed linen cord for added security. LOVE! I even made one for my husband =)
i made one awesome
Great tutorial! I just made my first one but it took forever because of the same twisting problem that others had. I found that the reason it twisted so much was because I was wrapping the cord too tightly around. On my last attempt, I wrapped it really loose and it hardly twisted! As mentioned before there is some natural twisting but the beads line up.
Great idea for a post.Thank you!
omfgggg. muuust doo nooowww….
multiply it by 1.5
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
great Idea!
Completely irrelephant but this was posted on my birthday 😀
Neat bracelet, too :3
heheh ya’r awesome ,… Love ya
kool
nice2x.. i like this.. 🙂
This is such a cool idea….will definitely have to try and share!!!
that is amazing
You’re not just a jewellery maker hey? Those photies are fab – I presume it’s an SLR camera? The focal depth makes those photos shine – I wish I could get some images like that on my blog – don’t suppose we could do each other favours? 😉
Love these!!
That’s so cute!
I also love this one: http://love-as-we-know-it.blogspot.com/2012/01/bracelet-diy.html
I tried it and it worked out pretty good. I used embroidery floss, though because that’s what I had 🙂
love the idea. made the bracelet but the measurements for the brass ball chain is for people with very small wrists? luckily i have a small wrist so it fit but barley. i would recommend adding and inch to the brass ball chain. thankss
Awesome idea!! I recently bought a couple on-sale at the mall, and really wanted to buy more, but then thought I could make them somehow. I forgot about my “mission” until I saw this! Thanks to you, and thanks to Stumbleupon for reminding me of my crafting mission! LOL… can’t wait to try this! Hopefully my bracelet comes out nice like yours! 🙂
http://roseywinterrose.blogspot.com
love this sooooo much
oh my gosh thats such a great idea! definitely going to try it!
http://rubytuesday00.blogspot.com/
its really cool…i liked it
Unfortunately this was not as easy as it looked for me! Repeatedly made it either too big or too small… 🙂 And the cord kept unraveling after I had finished it. Bummer, since it was so pretty! Good luck to everyone else though…
I love this
TKS!
omg so nice! I´m going to try this one! thank you for charing!
sooooo cool idea ….. awesome , thanks alot

What a wonderful idea! So easy!!! Thank you so much
LOVE these bracelets! I had to run out and buy supplies… however, I have made one with the ball chain and one with the crystal chain… and they both have twisted… I tried again and again and they still twist. I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong 🙁
That’s so cute!
LOVE IT! How creative!

Thank you for sharing such good ideas

This is so cool, I will try to do that with my girl scout troop
OMG! this is awesome, I tried it myself and is so simple and looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

hi frnds i m new here.
I love this and I think it’s a really great idea for men’s bracelets. Decent men’s bracelets are hard to find and this one is just about perfect. Thanks!
Hi where i can buy the materials I don’t buy online and don’t have a hobby loby close thanks
Brilliant.
That was very nice thank you for the post
Very refreshing idea. I love it!
Hi, do you sell these? they are so pretty.
Hi again, the wrist on the main pic just before the tutorial shows two row bracelets in blue and like a green… do you show how to make those?
I just made a bracelet like this and I LOVE IT!!! will be making more!!! Love these DIY bracelets!!
Love it!!
I linked to you (3 times 🙂 , hope thats okey 🙂

I made this last night, it’s so cute! It’s longer than I wanted (triple wrap) but for a newbie I’m pretty darn proud of myself! Thank you so much for posting this and making it easy for us “older” chicks to figure it out 😉
what a beautiful art hand work
Thanks! These are great fun to make, look gorgeous and a great present ! 🙂
I like your bracelets very much. I´m going to try to make them.Thank you very much and visit my blog, please
Thank you so much, I love them! Great idea! 🙂
besides the waxed cord,what the other type of cord can we use?
@yaya, you can use other cords but waxed cord is the best because it’s sticky and will hold the beads in place better than anything else. hope that helps!
This is a very smart idea! The bracelets are very cute. I like your tutorials very much!!
amazing! so trying this!
Hi,
I was wondering if you know where I can get beads/connectors like the ones in this picture? (the pink and yellow bracelets)
