DIY: Ribbon Bracelet

Artisan crafted jewelry is the essence of a one-of-a-kind accessory. Every piece is handmade and original. Because an artisan instead of a machine makes them, every piece of jewelry has a story behind it. We want to give you the chance to be an artisan with this simple DIY bracelet. Create a fabulous piece of arm candy that features your personal style. What are you waiting for? Let’s get started!

What You Will Need:

20in ribbon

15-20 12mm pearls

Stretch cord

Needle

When choosing your materials, remember you can customize them to your liking. If you’re not a pearl girl, find beads that you love. Like a splash of color? Pick out a fun and flirty ribbon instead of a solid-colored one.

Once you have picked out your materials, start by threading your stretch cord through the needle. Depending on the size of your stretch cord, make sure you pick a needle with a large loophole.

After your needle is threaded, sew through a fold of ribbon. Next, sew through a bead and another fold of ribbon.

Repeat this cadence until you have all of your beads strung or until you have reached a point that will fit your arm.

Lastly, tie the ends of the cord ends together into a very secure knot. Finish it off by tying the ribbon into a pretty bow.

Congratulations, you now have a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. You can also make different variations of this bracelet by weaving extra folds or using alternating beads. The possibilities are endless!
