My friend and coworker, Beth, just recently got back from a trip to Peru. She graciously brought me back a sweet bracelet for a souvenir. It’s one that you can wrap around your wrist a couple times. Or 600 times if you’re Beth. The girl has tiny wrists. Anyway, it’s really cool. It inspired me. I remember seeing this post and thought, hey – I can make that!
So I did.
But I wanted to make it a bit more interesting.
I went to Ace and bought a roll of cotton multipurpose twine, can of black spray paint, and a box of small hex nuts. Total: around 12 bucks.
Ace had several options for twine but I bought the cotton kind because I knew I wanted to dye it. See previous post for ombre dying. I decided to make it yellow with green ends.
I took the nuts outside and spray painted them black. It was Beth’s idea to paint them black, and I thought it would be a fun contract between the yellow of the twine.
After I dried the twine, I followed the steps here.
It ended up being really easy. I like that the string is extra long so you can wrap it two or three times. That way you were able to see where the string changed to green on the ends.
Once I finished, I decided I wanted to make a bracelet but keep it unpainted silver. I love the silver/blue combo so I dyed it blue. I loved the way this one turned out too! There are so many ways to change this up and add something special to it. My brain is spinning!
Thanks to my hand models, Beth and Blake, for helping me out with this post!
