Saw it! Pinned it! Did it!-Lace & Pearl Bracelet

I saw this Lace & Pearl Bracelet on Pinterest and I absolutely loved it. I thought it would be a great gift for my bridesmaids-to-be.

Here is what I used:

• leather cording – 28″ is recommended
• lace (hem tape lace is easier to use)
• pearls – I used 16
• thread
• Needle (make sure the needle is thin enough to fit through the size 16 pearls)
• Larger bead to connect (Optional)

Step 1: Cut cord into 2-16 inch pieces. Depending on the size of your wrist, you may need less or more. 

Step 2: String thread through needle and first piece of cord. String through pearl and then second piece of cord.

Step 3: String thread back through the same piece of cord. Add another pearl. And string through the first piece of cord. Repeat until you have reached the desired length. 

Step 4: Knot thread and cut remnants. 

Step 5: Wrap lace between cords and pearls on both sides (after doing this, you should not see the cord anymore).

Step 6: Tie lace around cord at the end. 

Step 7: On one side make two knots. One knot should be at the end of the pearl and the other about 3/4 inch. further (this is for the knot on the opposite side of the bracelet, in order to connect around your wrist). 

Step 8: Enjoy your new piece of jewelry. 

DIY Tying the Knot Wire Rings

A few weeks ago I noticed a lady wearing a wire heart ring, and was inspired to try myself. Instead of the heart, I thought about creating some "tying the knot" rings. I used 20-gauge wire, a round-nose jewelry plier, and a highlighter for sizing. These were pretty easy to make and of course, cheap! It costed me about $10 for the pliers and wire, and I still have plenty of wire. It also took me about 30 minutes to make about 10 rings!

Steps to making DIY Knot Ring:

1. Wrap the wire around a sizing tool (highlighter, chapstick, etc.)

2. Leave an even amount, about an inch on both sides, after the wrap. 

3. Make a loop with one side of the wire. 

4. Stick the other end of wire through the loop. 

5. Bend both ends around the "knot" and secure them in the back 

Hope the special recipients like them! :)
