  Step 1

  For this simple up-cycle DIY, you will need some pretty fabric, beads, findings and clasps. There is no tricky technique and the main fastenings are made using a glue gun in this DIY, but you can include sewing if you prefer.

• 

  Step 2

  To start, cut a 30cm length of fabric, with a width of two turns of your chosen bead:

• 

  Step 3

  Divide your fabric by the number of beads to determine where they should sit in the fabric. To enclose the bead, a knot need to be made either side. Create your first, careful to fold the edges into the centre to hide any frayed material:

• 

  Step 4

  Now cover the bead carefully, still hiding the raw edges:

• 

  Step 5

  and create a second knot the opposite side. Pul the knots as tightly as you can and this will enclose the bead securely:

• 

  Step 6

  Add your next bead:

• 

  Step 7

  ...and continue to cover and knot the material:

• 

  Step 8

  ...until all your beads are covered.

• 

  Step 9

  At each end, add a second knot (this will become the fastening for the bell closures).

• 

  Step 10

  To create a bracelet or necklace from the fabric knots, bell closures can secure the fabric.

• 

  Step 11

  Trim the ends and thread a finding through the ends, guiding the other end of the finding through the bell closure. Secure in place with hot glue and leave to dry:

• 

  Step 12

  ...repeat on the opposite end:

• 

  Step 13

  ...and then add your findings and clasps to the length required.

• 

  Step 14

  The bracelet is complete!

• 

  Step 15

  A brilliant way to up-cycle beads and use some of your favourite fabric.
