Who knew nuts and twine could look so chic! I found this amazing DIY tutorial over at Honestly WTF and had to try it...and HONESTLY this site is my new obsession! I've already bookmarked at least three more DIY's...Weeeee! Head on over and be addicted like me!

Anyways, I couldn't find twine in the proper thickness so I opted for some black suede instead and here's how it turned out:

Recycled T-Shirt Knotted Bracelet Tutorial


HEY!!!!! I'm backkkkk!!!!! Much apologies for being MIA for so long! A quick update: I finished my first year of teaching and I didn't die (yippee!) and I'm home in Canada for the summer, then heading back for another year in Macau :)

I've gotten a lot of requests for a how-to on the recycled t-shirt knotted bracelet I made a while back....SOOOOO I ended up making a video tutorial for you all :) I decided to jazz up the bracelet by painting on a leopard print and adding a few gold chains! These steps are optional but I think it looks pretty radical yeah?


OK hope you enjoy the tutorial and lemme know if you have any questions or comments. I'm thinking of giving one of these leopardy wrist snugglies away so check back soon! Have a lovely day! Smile :)
