DIY Bracelet Hack Under $10

DIY DIVA ALERT! 

This jewelry hack that will have you running to the craft store now!
Layered and wrap bracelets are the newest trend, and you can make them yourself! The picture above is a combo of store bought bracelets (with the arrows) and DIY bracelets under $10, and now you're going to know how to make them. 

What you need to make this fashion statement happen

1) String of your choice - Pictured above is both colored knotting cord and a brown leather cord. This choice is up to you and the look you are going for. Dressy or casual, colors or neutrals, whatever your heart desires. Whichever you chose, make sure the beads fit. 
2) Gold noodle beads - You can find these beads at any craft store or bead shop. They're super fun to craft with and have a chic look to them. Make sure you chose a bead that has the right diameter for the width of your string. Usually the thicker noodle beads work better for this project. 
3) Gold crimps & fastener - You'll need the clamps to be able to attach the ends to the fastener and form the bracelet. I would suggest investing in a small set of jewelry pliers (especially if you plan to make more DIY jewels) because it will make your life much easier. 


After you buy all your materials the process is pretty simple: Make your DIY bracelets & flaunt your new set of arm candy everyone will adore. You can change up the color, width and material of the cord to add a different look. Also, I suggest to make a silver set and a gold set, so you can pair them with whatever color metal you're wearing. Mix and match these with other bracelets you already have to always keep it exciting!
These beauties can be dressed up or down, and can make all your friends wish they had your style.
