As you all have probably seen ~ these woven bracelets are all the rage right now.
Hello, my name is Kellie & I’m a sucker for trendy things.
I really am. Gosh, darn it.
There’s tutorials out there like crazy, so I wont even try to subjected you, to one from me.
However, this post is about a “golden” tip & of course, my favorite Spring colors.
Tangerine tango, pink, mint with a hint of aqua. = deliciousness!
You know in Joanne’s where they have every trim imaginable?
they have gold chain for $19.99 a yard.
I bought a 1/2 yard = $9.99
but after using my 50% coupon it was = $4.99 for a 1/2 yard (are you still with me?)
(***a 1/2 yard will make 2 bracelets***)
I also bought 2 gold chain hook key rings that were $2.99 for 2.
also, 5 embroidery thread colors for .29 cents each.
So I made myself one sassy big link gold chain-chain-chain woven bracelet for
$5.75.
Are you jealy? Don’t be – use this tutorial & you can make yourself one too!
(I did weave mine through a few more times than she did in her tutorial. My chain is bigger than her bracelet. But note the difference in price. 😉
Now hurry up with your sassy self & make one too!
It’s a perfect thing to do while watching TV! And you can’t beat it for $5.75!

It’s adorable! I have doubts about my weaving skills though. I’m not sure it’s as easy as it sounds. 😉
Very, very cute!!

I love your bracelet! It’s going on my list of gifts to make. I have a few girlies that are hard to buy/make for, but I think they’ll love this. Thanks for linking to the tutorial.

Dang that’s crafty! I’m definitely going to invest in this. I have a small silver chain bracelet I never wear – guess who’s upcycling it now? *this gal!*
Kwana says
Thanks I love this and may have to give it a try.

What a brilliant idea … I must make it … I’m on my to JoAnn’s … like I don’t have supplies for a million other projects!

Was the “chain” made from plastic? I found some plastic chain material at Joann’s but there wasn’t any metal. Really cute idea.
