Things you will need:
1. Safety Pins (50-100 depending on how large of a wrist and how full you want your bracelet to look)
2. Elastic string
3. Seed Beads in whichever colors you choose
To make the bracelets:
1. Fill every safety pin with seed beads in any color or pattern you would like.
2. Cut two pieces of elastic string about 2 inches longer than it needs to be to fit the wrist of the desired person.
3. Using one piece of elastic string the pins on. It is best to have the first pin facing so that the string goes through the bottom hole of the pin. The second pin should face so that the head of the pin (the part that opens) is strung on. Alternate the pins this way but make sure the beeds are always facing out.
4. Using the second piece of string, go through the end of the pins that is not looped through the first string.
5. Tie each piece of string to itself once all pins are on.
6. Cut off any excess string and you will have a beautiful stretch safety pin bracelet.
Have a great day everyone!

ReplyDeleteYour About Me is good to describe why you like to do in Arts and Crafts, but I was wondering if you could mention what you want people to get out of reading your blog, like solely creatively, or for cheap or for enjoyment.
The description is good and your aim is certainly to be creative with things around the house, but is the goal just jewelry making or is it around the house homemade items.
Your step-by-step instructions for the safety pin bracelet were clear and I like the colors, and design of the webpage and photos blend in really good.

I like this blog a lot, mainly because I too am frugal in most aspects of my life. The about me and description were clear about what you were trying to accomplish. I think you will experience a great following because people are always looking for a way to glam up with out going broke! I like the instructions as well, it shows that you not only have an idea but can show others how to use it.
