Pretty In Pink

I saw a bracelet like this at Charming Charlie's but I knew I could easily make it, so I did. Alls it took was an old necklace chain (I used a thick one), you could also use multiple for a more layered look, a strand of pearl beads, and one strip of one inch wide fabric. It's just a basic braid of the three topped of with some hot glue that way it doesn't unravel. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! I plan on making different variations in multiple colors. Lemme know if you have any suggestions. :)

Fabric Scraps + Toilet Paper Roll = Cute Cuff

I use paper towel rolls as ribbon holders and have been saving paper towel rolls for some time. I got uber bored the other night but didn't want to start on a sewing project because I would be leaving town for a couple weeks and I'd hate to leave it undone for so long. It came to me when I cut a pair of powder blue bermudas into mid thigh shorts. I loved the fabric and it looked really good with lace so I picked another fabric scrap and cut them into strips and began braiding them. I wanted a bracelet so I took the toilet paper roll and cut it about half an inch down.

After I braided it I used my hot glue gun and glued it onto the toilet paper roll, sewed a button on the one end, then put a piece of lace on it in a loop to fasten. Cute and only took like 20 minutes tops! Plus from the extra fabric I made a cute keychain, too!
