DIY- Colour Block Bracelet

Firstly, thank you for all your ideas on how to wear the sizzling hot shoes from my last post.  I can't wait to show you what I come up with : )

Now to the DIY- I'm so excited about this post.  This is my first DIY tutorial- inspired by the current bold and brilliant colour block trend, and Proenza Schouler's designs  Hope you like it!  Here's a sneak peak of the final product...

Note: There will be a matching Part 2 very soon!!!

DIY- HARDWARE & COLOUR BLOCK BRACELET

I started with the (free) purple cord from a shopping bag handle, a Cue bag in this case & found this $4 quirky brass latch at the hardware store. THEN pretty much,with no plan in mind, sat down at my outside table in the sunshine and had a muck around. I'm so pleased with the result : )

 1. Grab your materials!  Some cord, a clasp and whatever coloured cotton you like.

2. Put cord through the solid end of the clasp, cut to the right length for your wrist and start winding a contrasting cotton around, and around, and around.

3. When you get to the end, use a needle to thread the cotton back through the cord to hold in place.   

 

4. Choose a contrasting colour of cotton and at one end wind around, and around and around.
5. Once again use a needle to push the thread through the cord to hold in place.
6. REPEAT- Choose another contrasting colour of cotton and wind around, and around the other end.

7. Voila!! A colour block & Hardware bracelet:

GOOD LUCK!

I would love to hear how you go : )
