Colorblocking : Braclet DIY

Even though summer is ending, it doesn't mean the fun has to stop. While my wardrobe is usually stocked full of neutrals, these pops of color add some vibrancy to my outfits. And if you don't feel like wearing a bright pink or neon green top, this is an easy, subtle change you can make.

 

Supplies:

-Embroidery thread in three to four colors

-Shower ring/scarf ring/old bracelet

-Hot glue gun

Directions:

1. Measure around your bracelet the circumference, and then divide that by how many colors you are planning on using. For example; I had four colors, and my ring's circumference was 8 inches. Because I wanted to use each color at least twice, I divided that number again by four (the # of colors) So each color block would be one inch long.

2. When you figure out how many colors/how long they each shall be you begin by tying a knot with one color around the ring. Hide the tail of the knot by wrapping over it. and gluing underneath the wrapping. To keep it neat looking, hot glue only on the inside of the bracelet.

3. Knot and wrap for each proceeding color and end by knotting your last color leaving a long tail, then wrap tail to cover knot and hold it down with a dab of hot glue.
