DIY: Thread + Charm Bracelets

My little sister says she's my #1 fan. Isn't she cute? Every time I'm making something, she always wants to be the first one to try it. She loves handmade things as much as I do! She always wear the bracelets I've made her to school. One of her favorites is the thread & charm bracelet. Every time I get a new charm she likes, that means another bracelet I have to make her. So yeah, she has a lot of those bracelets :)

Anyways, since today is my little sister's birthday, I decided to show you how to make her favorite bracelets.

Step by Step

Step 1: You need 24 inches of thread. You may need more or less thread, it all depends on your wrist size. Bend the thread on the middle and add a jump ring.

Step 2: Hold both ends of the thread together and make a knot, as shown on the photo.

Step 3: After making the knot, you will have the thread together like if there was 2 threads. You need to leave a small space and then add a charm. {When leaving the space, you can check it on your wrist... the jump ring will be under the wrist, and the charm will be over the wrist-- in the middle of the wrist, like any other bracelet.}

Step 4: Now you have to make another knot, like in step 2, but this time it will be on the charm.

Step 5: After adding the charm, you need to find the other half of the thread and make a knot. Leave a small piece of thread after the knot, and cut the rest of the thread.

Step 6: Add a cord end cap at the end, as shown in the photo.

Step 7: Add a clasp, and you are done!

The Results

You can make this simple bracelet in any color, with any charm :)

What's your favorite color when it comes to bracelets? As you can see, my little sister LOVE brilliant colors!
