Yes, I know, I have to stop making bracelets. It’s an addiction. Is there a support group for this? But I see these fun, colorful wrap bracelets everywhere, and they are sooo easy that even this craft-challenged mom can’t resist.

You Will Need (2 things)

  • Skirt
  • Hexagon Nuts

Steps (6 steps, 2 minutes)

  1. 1

    Get thee to Goodwill and buy a crazy heinous skirt for $3. Then stop by the hardware store for a dozen or so brass hex nuts at 15 cents each. (You might want to pick up a few extra to make this bracelet.)

    And you’ve shelled out about $5. (Why are all my projects $5? It’s not a Lincoln conspiracy, I promise.)

  2. 2

    Cut a piece about 4 inches wide. Thinner is okay (not too much or it will just look sad), but you can’t go much thicker because your hex nuts won’t fit. Length can vary – the longer it is the more times it will wrap on your wrist. Also, the ragged edges are cool so don’t stress about hemming or fraying.

  3. 3

    Tie a knot in one end and twist the entire length.

  4. 4

    Feed your hex nuts on, spacing them however you want. Don’t glue them on – the width of the fabric will be enough to keep them in place. Plus then you can adjust them after you put the bracelet on.

  5. 5

    Tie the two ends together in a knot so it forms a circle.

  6. 6

    Wind it around your wrist! You can move the hex nuts around for a better visual.

    I love the chance to wear a bold color. So, obviously, I’m a bracelet person. What types of jewelry do you favor?
