DIY Bracelet: Glammed Up Hex Nut Bracelet

It’s DIY jewelry time!  Jewelry items are my favorite to craft, especially bracelets. I just love my arm candy! So for this tutorial, I’ve taken basic hex nut braided bracelet, and glammed it up by using black crystal rondelles and suede lace.  You could use  hex nuts, washers, or any flat-ish circular beads you have around the house to create this fun braided bracelet look.

Materials to make this DIY Bracelet:

1. About 1 yard or 1 meter of suede lace, you could also your rope, leather lace etc
2. 15-18 crystal rondelles (or hex nuts, washers, flat beads)
3. Estimated craft time: 10 minutes or less

Lazy to shop for supplies? You can purchase my DIY kit for this bracelet at Yes Missy Accessories Shop!

 DIY Jewelry Tutorial for Hex Nut Bracelet

1. Fold your suede lace into thirds and tie an overhand knot, leaving a 1/2 in loop in at the end. This will be become part of your bracelet closure in the end.
2. Start doing a normal braid for about 1-1.5 inches
3. Then continue braiding, but before you braid each strand over slide a hex nut or rondelle up to the top of the strand. Hold the hex nut securely, while you fold the braid the strand over and repeat with each strand of lace.
4. To finish off your bracelet return to the regular braid.
5. When you’ve reached the right length, tie off the ends in plain overhand knot.
