D-I-Y : Braided Bracelet w/ Color Pop Beads

Back from Hong Kong last night. This post is meant to keep you busy for the time being.

Step 1: Simple grab felt like "strings". Make sure you have 3 of them (any color). Mine was from an old necklace I had, and I just snipped them up into three portions.

Step 2: Braid them like how you would braid your own hair. *just remember to 'fold' in the side strands when overlapping*

Step 3: Get a strand of long thin thread (any color). I used the ones previously from making the pouch. I have tonnes of them left.

Step 4: Put a bead color of your choice through the needle and thread. Go through the gaps between the braided bracelet.

Above 2 photos show how you should thread through the bracelet.

Step 6: Get some tiny small metal ring and hook and attached to the ends. You can use a pair of pliers to help you

DONE !!!

There you have it, your very own bracelet with your favourite beads. You can also do it without the beads but with varied colors for felt strings.

Go & have fun experimenting and doing your bracelet for yourself or for a friend or as a gift !

Meanwhile, I'll have to edit and sift through my Hong Kong Trip Photos. Might have 2 posts for it. One for hauls and one for some of the places I went. Sounds good?
