DIY Woven Charm Bracelet

DIY Woven Charm Bracelet from Honestlywtf.com

You’ll need:

  • embroidery floss
  • curb chain
  • 7 skulls or charms
  • 7 5mm jump rings
  • 2 7mm jump rings
  • 7 headpins
  • 1 lobster clasp
  • 2 bobby pins
  • chain nose pliers and flat pliers

Start by cutting 8 strands of embroidery floss, with each strand measuring four times the length of the curb chain. Knot all the threads together, leaving about an inch and a half of slack. Separate the bunch into 2 groups of 4 strands. To easily weave the threads through the links of the chain, sandwich them between bobby pins. Clip the ends with a wire cutter if they are too big to go through the chain links. Lay the threads to the left of the bracelet and pull the right set from under the first link.

Pull the strands through the link and over the top of the left side. Lay the left set over the right set.

Pull it from under the same link and through.

Drap the set over the top left and now lay the other set on top. Pull the top set from under the second link and through.

Once it’s pulled through the link, cross it over to the left and place the other set on top. Pull the top set from under the second link and through again. Notice each set goes through a link once – so twice total. Keep braiding.

​

Knot the strands together at the end and trim away any excess floss.

​

Hold the loop tightly with the pliers and wrap the rest of the pin around the base of the loop 2-3 times. Trim away any excess wire.

Thread a skull bead onto a headpin. I added a small gold bead because the opening of the skull bead was too large. Using chain nose pliers, fold the headpin 45 degrees to the left. While pinching the headpin, wrap the pin around the right side of the pliers.

Space out the charms and attach them with to the opposite side of the chain part of the bracelet with jump rings.

​

Continue adding charms. Add a clasp to the end of the bracelet with a large jump ring. Add a large jump ring to the other side to complete the clasp.

5 Easy Ways to Stay Healthy on the Go

Let’s face it busy lifestyles can hurt a healthy wellness.  The best way to combat this is to plan ahead.  Check out our easy 5 tips to keep you looking good inside and out:

1)      Eat Breakfast.  It’s the most important meal of the day.  Try a bowl of healthy cereal paired with fresh fruit and a glass of juice.  Eating early on helps to avoid overeating at lunch time.

2)      Grab a healthy snack such as granola bars or fruit.  Try eating one every 3 hours to help fight the urge to swipe past the vending machine at work.

3)      Drink a gallon of water per day.  It helps to relieve hunger pains and will fill you up.  We recommend drinking water prior to meals to keep portion sizes moderate.

4)      Stock up on healthy foods only! That way when you are tempted to grab something on the go it’s a healthy choice as oppose to a quick fix.

5)      Think healthy.  Even fast food eateries have healthy options and calorie charts to help you make better eating decisions.
