diy bracelets

today i've got two diys for you! and they're bracelets. i wanted so bad to do something diy during my holiday, so i did and i'm really happy with the results. let's go straight to the diys!

first one: diy braided hex nut bracelet
the inspiration came from here and i wanted to make this bracelet so much! unfortunately, i didn't find gold hex nuts, so i had to use silvers. but i'm about to buy gold paint and i'm going to make those nuts gold! ok, but for now they're silver:
 you will need: some hex nuts (i found them in a local craft store) and a golden band.
   start braiding your band (i put it where it's more comfortable to braid, as you can see)
begin to braid in your nuts. thread on a nut, push it against the base of the braid, and crossover. hold it in its place tightly with your thumb and thread on another nut, push it against the base of the braid and crossover. at first it's not very easy but when you get the system it gets really simple.
 and when all the nuts are braided, keep braiding the band until the bottom, then make a knot and that's it!
 this is how it looks! nuts may be kind of big, but that's ok, they look really good! 

second one: studded friendship bracelet
i just found an old friendship bracelet and i wanted to renew it! and studs always work great for things like these.
 i used three studs and a friendship bracelet
 put the studs at the place where you want to stick them in
 use scissors or whatever you want to bend the prongs. don't hurt yourself, be careful!
 and this is it!

if you're going to make these bracelets, let me know - leave the comment or somehow else! x

diy studded shoulders

today i did something on my new sweater! i studded its shoulders and now it looks a lot better. you will need: studs, scissors to bend the prongs, pencil to mark where a stud should go and a sweater:
 it was like that
 first steps
 one shoulder, yey
and this is how it works, the studding project is done!

if you want to stud your clothes, you must do it! this takes only about 15mins and if you not happy about the result after all, you can easily take the studs out. so i suggest doing this because studs can revive your old piece of clothing or just refine the new one :)
