Ramblings with Rin


It's Wednesday, which means we are all battling to make it through the rest of the week. I thought my readers could use a little DIY inspiration to get them through the rest of the week! I've been wanting to make these bracelets for awhile, and made two different versions! Hope you enjoy!

 What You Need:
- Chain
-Geodes (I bought mine at Michaels)
-Lanyard String
- Split Rings


 For the pink band bracelet, you will be doing a circle lanyard stitch. Starting this stitch is the hardest part but here is the best tutorial


The Stitch itself is easy and very similar to the square knot. Instead of bringing the strands straight over, you will be bringing them diagonally over, and then weaving the other strands. The tutorial above helps illustrates this if there is confusion.


Continue the stitch until the length is good enough to fit around (and over) your wrist. 



To finish the bracelet, do one more stitch around the split ring and then tie off the loose ends and cut them. 


This is another variation of the bracelet using gold chain, and it is a lot fast and easier! Attach one end of the gold chain on the split ring. Measure around your wrist and place the other end of the chain on the other end of the split ring. 


Like so!


Here they are! Perfect bracelets for summer time!

**Note: My nails were in a desperate need of a manicure when I took these pictures.
As you can see from my earlier post, this was taken care of; however, I apologize for my horrid nails.**

What you need {Plastic Lanyard, Split rings, Lobster claw closure, pliers, and patience}

Cut the lanyard so it is two arms lengths {You will need two of these}
The start of the bracelet is the hardest part {This Tutorial is the best one}

The actual knot you will be doing is fairly easy. It's easiest to think of it as a weave.
{Pull tight each time you do the knot. You will continue this until the lanyard is almost used up}
To Finish the bracelet off, create the knot so a second split ring is in the middle of the knot.
Pull tightly and knot the ends.
Using the pliers use a jump ring to add the lobster claw (closure) to the split ring. 
Then close.
Try them in all sorts of bright colors. 
The lanyard costs $1 at Michael's and comes in a wide range of colors!
