This summer has been very different and encourages us to make more use of our creativity. For your next artistic task, create a friendship bracelet. The task is fast, simple and can be relaxing while browsing games of chance with colors, beads and more. Whether you need to create a bracelet for a friend you haven’t noticed in a few months because of your social distances, or need to create one of the colorful pieces yourself, it’s not complicated at all.
Jewelry designer Roxanne Assoulin says her key to finding inspiration when creating pieces is that it “will have to bring joy.” “Do it for yourself. We think too much about the process,” he told Teen Vogue. This task is not to exaggerate or arouse anxiety, but to allow you to express your creativity and relax and get lost in the colors and shapes of the bracelet. “You don’t know what you’re going to do and you wonder yourself,” Roxanne says.
Christina Tung of Svnr Shop gave Teen Vogue her recommendation on how to create a kinship bracelet in six simple steps. The jewelry designer who specializes in durable home-made jewelry tells us that her inspiration comes regularly from travel, but with the state of the world right now, art and photography have filled that void. “Looking at beautiful photographs or paintings at a time and position is very inspiring: a mix of colors or the way shapes mix influence the way I edit things.” Wherever you are inspired, look for pieces in your home and reuse them for your palship bracelet. To practice durability, Christina recommends “turning an old bracelet into earrings or a necklace into an ankle bracelet” for other features if you don’t have enough pieces to create your pair bracelet. But, if you are doing or able to buy some things, follow those six simple steps and invite your friends to create:
1. Find pearls that have many holes.
To make the trinket procedure as undeniable as possible, use beads with larger holes to make beating them with the cord a problem. The larger the hole, the more they slide in and out of the cable. Roxanne recommends “beautiful plastic or glass beads from Amazon”.
2. Find an elastic band that has account support.
Whether you opt for elastic or yarn, this will be the basis of your bracelet. Roxanne Assoulin uses raw cowhide for many of her bracelets because she “doesn’t fray and it’s solid,” but she with Christina that elastic is less difficult for beginners.
3. Thread the elastic beads
If the edge is frayed, you can wrap it in some whiskey. But this is the level at which you can be creative. Change the colors of the accounts you put on, even create words or words if you want.
4. Measure on your wrist
Take the finished bead thread and wrap it around your wrist until it is in a comfortable place. Be sure to leave enough space for your wrist to breathe and not squeeze it too tightly for takeoff, as this can cause an explosion.
5. Tie it up and
Using scissors or tweezers, cut the elastic after measuring the bracelet for a fit.
6. Use clear glue or nail varnish to prevent ends from fraying or untie
Using clear glue or varnish, the elastic is sealed and will prevent the fabric from fraying. This last step is vital to make your bracelet as blank as possible, everyone will think it’s professionally made!
