Easy $1 Bracelet

So, the other day I found out that they had a dollar beading section at Walmart, right under the rest of the beads. After browsing through a bunch of colorful chain, I found some yellow beads that, while being made of plastic, were actually pretty cute.  I  bought them thinking, they're cute, I like them, and I'll do something with them eventually. So I decided to make a bracelet.

Materials:
-pliers (needle-nose)
-Walmart beads
-medium jump rings
-lobster clasp (or other clasp)

First open a jump ring and hook 2 beads together. Then close the ring.

Keep linking the beads together till it fits your wrist (I used all the beads except one) and attach the lobster clasp.

That's it!  Now I have a fun, little pop of color.  And now a little something to brighten your day:

T-Shirt Bracelet

I actually got this Idea from V and Co., but she makes hers a little different and I like this way better.

      

Nope, they are not braided, these cute bracelets are finger knitted.  And all you need to made them is an old t-shirt.  Even little kid shirts will work, they will just make less bracelets. 

Tip: If you have a cute shirt but there is something on the front, cut around it or use just the back.

Materials:

• old t-shirt
• rotary cutter (or scissors)
• rotary mat
• hot glue gun
• fingers

Keep repeating steps 7 and 8 until it is wrist sized.  You might want to make it smaller than usual because they stretch.

Triple knot it, and trim the ends off.  Put hot glue or another glue around the knot.

This is why I glue the ropes together, not tie them.
