Diy inexpensive jewelry-recycled braided bracelet tutorial
LuShae once said that jewelry has existed
throughout human history as an integral form of
expression, wealth and social status. And up to this
present day, this statement still remains true.
However, jewelry is not only made out of previous
gems or noble metals. It can also be made out of
inexpensive jewelry with materials used in everyday
life including T-shirts, pants and even handbags. So,
I reproduced this post about upcycling a braided
bracelet from a very kind Hanna.
Things you’ll need to make the braided bracelet:
Fabric strips from old T-shirt
Different types of chain
Ribbon End
Jumpring
Toggle and T-bar clasp
Glue gun and glue sticks
Round Nose Pliers
Instructions for making this braided bracelet:
: cut 5 pieces of fabric into strips, 3 about 2~3cm wide and 30cm long and the rest 2 with Step 1
same width but just 10cm long.
In this post, we will show you a way to make inexpensive jewelry-a recycled braided bracelet. Simply
collect your old t-shirts and chains from broken accessories and then we’ll start!
: take one of the shorter strands and Step 2
place it on a flat horizontal surface. Heat the glue
gun glue a few drops onto the fabric. Twist the
starting ends of the 3 longer strips and lay them
on the glue, as pictured show.
: pick a chain strand and fold it in half. Step 3
Glue it onto the shorter fabric strip using glue.
: add a few more glue drop and then roll the Step 4
shorter fabric strip over itself covering everything in
it. Wait for it to dry completely.
: start the braid with the 3 fabric strips and the chains. Make sure the chains are visible. Step 5
: glue the end of the bracelet just like the beginning. Step 6
: attach a ribbon end on both ends. Finally, add the toggle and a t-bar using jumprings. Step 7
Done!
Although this design is makes a fairly inexpensive jewelry, the results are amazing and a great way
to recycle an old t-shits and some old chains. Such types of braided bracelets have been popping
up all over the web so it’s a great opportunity to share it here with you!
