Today, even the most demanding fashionista has the opportunity to choose an accessory to taste - after all, there are a lot of options! But whatever the newly acquired decoration, nothing compares to the one you made with your own hands. And in terms of originality, it certainly will not yield even to designer ones, because if you wish, you can use the most unexpected material - a plastic bottle, a zipper, clothespins, pins and hairpins, egg trays ... And that's not all!

1.From lace and pendants

This is the easiest option to make a bracelet with your own hands, and the most labor-intensive. Take the pendant you like and attach strong threads to it (cords, ribbons, plaits). You can fasten the ends with clasps, or you can simply tie them on your wrist with a bow.

2.Knitting

Tie a finished piece of wood or make a base out of plastic bottle(see point 13). If you are not particularly fond of yarn and knitting needles, you can simply buy a ready-made "tie" or use a piece of an unnecessary knitted thing.

3. Buttons

Very original and bright bracelets! Absolutely everything is used: the smallest and largest, wooden, plastic, iron, convex and embossed, children's figured and old-fashioned with mother of pearl ...

4. Use pins

Recently, such bracelets are gaining more and more popularity among needlewomen - here and there you can see stylish "pin" ribbons on graceful tassels. Experiment - change the color of beads and pins, vary their size and shape until you find your perfect option.

The decoupage technique is suitable for both plastic and wooden blanks. It is only necessary to thoroughly degrease the surface of the base with alcohol or nail polish remover, prime it (with paints or PVA glue diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 1). Then cut out some element from any napkin you like (it is very difficult to glue a solid napkin without a certain skill) and glue it on the bracelet. Remember to only use the top ball of the napkin (usually they are three ply). The primer must dry completely! When the glue and the napkin stop sticking to your hands, you can varnish the product. Instead of a napkin, you can use newspaper clippings.

6.Polymer clay or thermoplastic

7. Old zippers

An excellent solution on how to use failed "snakes".

8. In the style of Coco Chanel

Madame Coco was the first to come up with the idea of ​​attaching long straps to miniature clutches, and to make them stronger, she pulled them through large chains. We use the same technique when creating such a stylish bracelet ...

You can add a few large beads if you like.

9. Beads

Do you think you can only weave baubles from beads? But no! A few basic techniques...

10 Ice Cream Sticks

It's funny, but even they can be used in the creation of costume jewelry! Boil wooden sticks in a small saucepan for 15 minutes to make them more pliable. Then place them in cups or mugs so that future bracelets get the desired shape (make sure that the neck of the container is not too narrow, otherwise your hand simply won’t fit through!). In a day you can start decorating! To do this, you can paint blanks, decoupage them, cover them with fabric or paste over ... with stamps, for example!

11. Bracelet made of ... egg tray!

Yes, there is even such a base option as an egg tray. To do this, tear the trays into pieces, soak them overnight in water, wring out the resulting mass, add a little glue and knead like a dough. Now from this "clay" you can sculpt anything! But you can try to make a bracelet using a bottle or a glass as a base for shaping. Stick the mixture from the egg tray onto the base, give it a clear shape, but don't try too hard - this will make the bracelet more authentic. After the finished bracelet dries, you can paint it.

12. Use hex nuts

A little photo tutorial...

Such a bracelet cannot but interest lovers of all kinds of originality.

13. Plastic bottle

A blank from a plastic bottle can be tied, covered with fabric, embroidered with beads or sequins.

14. Leather, suede or felt - stylish "eight"

For such a bracelet, you will need a thick fabric and a stencil that you can draw by hand and cut out. Detailed master class help you get it right...

Photos are clickable.

15. Flirty bow

Another fabric bracelet. Try also using tight lace!

16. Mouline thread and afro style

For the base, take rubber or plastic straws (there is a reason to visit the plumbing department!). Wrap them with multi-colored floss and secure with large fasteners at the ends. You can create a similar necklace for such a bracelet - just take a longer pipe.

Always in price, sometimes they look more impressive than jewelry

Learning to make 10 beautiful bracelets

Summer bright bracelet.

Pairs well with a jacket and jeans

you need a brown leather cord, a blue waxed cord, a chain of metal balls and a golden bolt.

Fold the leather cord in half (each side must be at least 50 cm if you want to make a bracelet in two turns). Attach the blue cord.

Now fasten the metal chain with a blue cord, and then thread the beads of the chain between the turns of the blue cord. If you could not find a metal chain with beads (usually sold in stores selling accessories for creating jewelry, you can string the beads on a thread and use it instead of a chain).

Measure the diameter of your wrist, add 2-3 cm and wrap the blue cord around the leather to this length.

8.

At the end, fasten the metal chain with a few turns of blue cord (as at the beginning), tie a knot along with the leather cord.

Put the bolt on the resulting cord in the knot area, secure it again with a knot.

Cut off the excess length of the cords, the bracelet is ready!

Imitation pearl bracelet

You will need two leather cords about 50 cm long (they can be purchased at any hardware store for making jewelry).

Now we sew artificial beads between two leather cords with a thread and a needle.

So we continue to sew gradually bead by bead.

Sew in the beads to the number that you think is necessary. Don't worry about the stitching threads being visible, we'll hide them for now.

Now with an openwork braid (0.5-0.7 mm wide) tie each cord. So you and the threads will hide under the cord.

This is what you should end up with - in the middle of the bead, and at the edges of the lace braid.

At the ends, knot both the braid and the cord together.

TURQUOISE BRACELET

Jewelry with turquoise always brings back memories of the blue sea, sunny beaches, hot evenings and even a little “oriental”.

I don’t know what it is connected with, and each person has different objects that cause completely different emotions.

But I can say one thing - turquoise jewelry leaves only a few indifferent.

For a faux turquoise bracelet, we need 2 leather cords Brown color 80 m each, artificial turquoise 0.5 mm (approximately 100-120 pcs), thin brown leather thread 100 cm, needle, decorative button, Moment Crystal glue.

1.

We put on flat surface leather cords parallel to each other at a distance of 1 cm. We thread the leather thread into the needle, fix it on the cord and begin to sheathe the cords, and insert turquoise between the cords.

When the entire length of the cords is sheathed with threads and beads, carefully glue the leather thread on the wrong side (to prevent it from shifting). Wait for complete drying.

One side leather cords make a ring at the end, and sew a decorative button on the other - this will be the clasp on the bracelet.

5.

Chanel style bracelet

Perfect for a little black dress

We'll need artificial pearl, jewelry fishing line, two types of chain, two connecting jewelry rings, a piece of satin black ribbon (1 cm wide, 20 cm long), scissors.

String faux pearls on a jewelry line. How many beads to string is up to you, but it depends on the diameter of the beads and the width of your wrist, usually 18 to 24 beads are enough.

.

Now put one end of the chain on the fishing line.

Measure the length of the pearl, cut off the same amount of chain, put the second edge on the second edge of the fishing line.

Carry out the same procedure with 2-3 more types of chains.

Now put the edges of the chains on the jewelry connecting rings (the rings can be from 0.8 to 1.4 cm in diameter).

Pass through the rings satin ribbon.

A universal decoration for the style of clothing "military" and "casual" is denim bracelet. It is easily combined with both denim and white cotton and natural linen.

DENIM BRACELET

To begin with, take a small piece of brown leather and print out any inscription with printed letters (although special metal printed letters are needed for this). If you don’t have them, then just cut a 5 * 2 cm segment from the leather.

From old jeans, cut off the belt, measure the width of your wrist. From the side of the belt where there is a hole for the button, cut the width of the wrist along the length. Sew a piece of leather in the middle of the workpiece, sew up the side seam.

The Victorian style, both in architecture and in clothing, was distinguished by luxury and beauty. in some quarters of London (and naturally the English colonies) whole quarters have been preserved Victorian era. The clothes included velvet, lace, shades of gold and warm pastel colors, precious and semiprecious stones. And even today, some jewelry like Victorian-style bracelets are more relevant than ever.

We will need several types of braid in gold and pastel colors (guipure, satin, velvet), a thread of beads, gold-colored metal buttons, superglue.

.


We take a cotton base 20 * 10 cm. Fold it in half in width, determine the middle.

We put a braid on one part of the base of the bracelet: in the middle in a fold, on one edge golden velvet, and on the other body guipure. We wanted to sew on dark pink imitation pearls, but they don't fit very well.

We settled on white beads. We sew the braid with hidden seams to the base. White beads are sewn onto flesh-colored guipure.

.


Now we bend the edges of the braid, glue it on the wrong side. Now we glue the edges of the base inward in width. The edges are sewn by hand with a hidden seam.

On one side of the bracelet we sew a metal button in gold.

And on the other side there are two strips of body guipure braid.

The bracelet is ready

1. Wooden or plastic beads (you can even buy them at a flea market).
2. Fabric calico with floral print.
3. Threads.
4. Satin ribbon for ties.

We free the beads from threads, fasteners, fasteners. From the fabric we cut out a strip 7 cm wide, 20 cm long. The length is the length of your wrist + the volume of each bead, but the width of the strip is the width of the widest bead multiplied by 2.

We sew the strip from the wrong side along the length, turn it right side out, iron it.

Now we insert a bead into the inside of the fabric tube, after passing a satin ribbon for a tie into it (into the core), then we tie it with a thread. So we continue until the fabric tube is completely stuffed with beads.

So, how to make a fabric bracelet with your own hands. Since we propose to make bracelets from waste T-shirts, the first thing you have to do is find raw materials, that is, the very unwanted t-shirt. And cut it into ribbons to make the so-called yarn. Depending on which bracelet you want to weave, the strips will be wide (for a massive bracelet) or thin.

Now you have to decide what kind of bracelet you want. We offer several options for making a fabric bracelet.

The simplest version of a T-shirt bracelet. Just take the "yarn" and wind it around your wrist several times. Fasten the end with a knot. You can combine the "yarn" of several colors. If it seems to you that this fabric bracelet looks too simple, you can decorate it with beads or dilute ordinary threads with a braid, woven from the same yarn.

You can fasten the ends of the bracelet either with a special fastener, or sew the ends of the threads with threads, and hide the seam by wrapping it with a piece of "yarn" of the same color as the bracelet itself.

This fabric bracelet is a little more complicated. Just follow the instructions and you will be fine.
