A few weeks ago I posted this image from Nobody Knows Marc. I have been itching to try it out, and today was the perfect day. I decided to use neon rope and chain but try experimenting with different materials and colors. This is an easy DIY; I completed it in about 1/2 an hour!

Happy Cinco De Mayo! I kind of slacked last night and didn't get around to my DIY project, BUT I thought I would give you a little teaser and then later tonight post how my project actually went. I have dying for some colorful bowls to spread around my house for rings, bracelets, watches, baubles, etc. And after seeing these, I thought they were perfect!

**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}

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!
