DIY Jersey Knit Bracelets!


Last night at craft night we made jersey knit bracelets! Krystal taught us how to make these adorable little bracelets that she found on V & Co. They are so easy to make and add such a fun splash to any summer outfit! I'm definitely making one to match my swimsuit! So, let's get started!

Cut two to three pieces of fabric about 1 inch wide about 58 inches long
(This technique can be made using two, three or four fingers for additional width)

(Krystal, I had to post it! You look so cute!)
Take the tip of two of the strips and cut a small whole


Put both of the hole's together, laying one piece of fabric over the other...
then take the opposite end of the fabric in the back and pull it through the hole from the front


Pull both ends tight to form a knot


Put tail end between your thumb and pointer finger (Or between your ring and middle for a two finger width) Drape in front of ring finger and behind pinky


Pull fabric around pinky and behind ring finger...


Pull fabric around the front...



Take the bottom loop and pull it over the top row of fabric on each finger


**Continue this process until the braid in the back is long enough to create a bracelet...
Pull fabric tight as you go along**

When your braid is finished, pull your fingers out of the holes



Take the tail end and pull it through the holes...


Pull on each tail to tighten and then tie in a knot


Once it is secured, cut off the ends...


And your done! Here are a few more photos of some of the finished bracelets! :)




I like a lot of chunky pieces, so I put both of mine together with a couple of silver pieces! Love it! :D
