Techni-Color Bracelet DIY

Supplies Needed: Embroidery thread,  metal washers, Scissors, Ribbon, Pliers
1. Tie the washers together with a scrap piece of the embroidery thread. Make sure the know is tied very tight!
2. Wrap each washer with a colorful piece of embroidery thread. Note: The smaller the washer, the more wrapping you will need to do.
3. Connect the decorative ribbon by looping it through the washer and tying a double knot. Do this on both sides.
4. Cut the center piece of the ribbon and tie a small knot on the end so no unraveling happens.
5. I applied small amount of nail polish to help the ribbon from unraveling. I chose a fun contrasting color but please note that you may not need to do this on certain types of ribbon. Its completely optional!

  2. These look so fun, do you think I could make some with thick cardboard circles in stead of metal washers?

    Thanks

    1. Hi Nora,

      You could try, but the problem is that you have to wrap the thread pretty tight around the circle so the cardboard may bend in areas. I would try a think cut plastic instead:)
