diy: chain reaction

01.22.2009 | Author: val | Posted in Black

so i made these medieval “wrapped yarn” bracelets, after being inspired by yarborough jewelry’s collection, as profiled below!

start with:

(x3) bracelets of your choice…i recommend different sizes.

(x1) skein of lion brand yarn

(x10) (3/8″) pyramid suds

(x10) “O” rings

(x1) 45″ of chain (or less)

chain bracelet: wrap the yarn tightly around the bracelet- secure with tight knots, at interior.  place the “O” rings on your bracelet, about 1″ and 1.5″ apart- drape the chain between- secure and close thru “O” rings.

stud bracelet: place the studs randomly, along the bracelet.  tuck prongs into yarn- press to secure w/ thumbs, and prongs will close on impact pressure.

good luck!

    I really love this. Now I have a reason to grab those cheap bangles I see everyday cause I love the way this turned out, especially with the chains!
