DIY Wrap Bracelet- Fashion Week Inspired

[deadmemories890]

i love the idea, but sadly i wouldnt have the patience for it :(

[gurlygirl347]

I love this idea. I'm going to have to try it sometime. :) I was wondering if you would make a video about wearing this look in the spring (of 2012) ? Please and thankyou.

[aglanceatmyworld]

@gurlygirl347 Glad you like it :) At the end of the video there is links to two videos. The video on the left is one I made and the bracelet is worn in the first styling.  All the looks are based around Fall 2011 NYFW runway shows that projected the trends for Spring 2012.

[BozinhoCarrilho]

Simply amazing, super well explained tutorial. I did it to my wife here in Brazil (I'm Brazilian, actually) and she simply loved it!!!! Thank you!!!

[MrTilt4]

thati is very pretty!(:

[nurdacious1]

that is soo cool

[bibinofear]

WOW, I LOVE IT!!

[MissFredFlinstone]

this is confusing. how did you tie the bracelet together?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@MissFredFlinstone You wrap the bracelet around your wrist a few times then slide the button into the loop at the other end :)

[vickerles]

I really like the boho look. I was using more rounded leather cording. I am going to try it with more of the natural look like you have. Very cool!

[futurestar222]

im making one of these for my friend katelyn for christmas. she loves braclets so yea

[Jennycosmo1]

You are really great at explaining! I'm glad I found this video!

[karen77777vegas]

what size is the crochet thread?????

[aglanceatmyworld]

@karen77777vegas Check the video at :41 it should have all the info you need :)

[MISSpinkGLITTERbomb]

wtf is wrong with her eyebrows

[aglanceatmyworld]

@MISSpinkGLITTERbomb What's wrong with your manners?

[BeautyBlabber08]

@MISSpinkGLITTERbomb eyebrows come in all diffrent shapes and sizes, hers are so beautiful and full. Great video hun.

[drc536]

@MISSpinkGLITTERbomb wtf happened to your manners? Probably raised with goats.

[montrealstars60]

Love it, thanks

[RhubarbSmoothie]

awesome...this is gorgeous :)

[valzmera]

fabulous, it makes a perfect xmas gift thank you thank you <3

[Fl4dd3rm0uz]

Love it! is there any reason why you do not knot the crochet thread into the first knot? because depending on the leather it might start to slip - or am I overthinking it too much?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@Fl4dd3rm0uz I just didn't want the thread to show that much so I tried to make the knot blend in with the rest of the 'stitching'. You can knot it with the leather if you want...I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work :)

[Sandyrah95]

This is so easy! I already made 3 in less than an hour! :) thanks!

[lilcutebanana]

Omgi luv u, ur amazing!!!!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@lilcutebanana Aww :) Thank you so much!

[ChirpingLlama]

What could you use instead of leather? Where would you get it? Also, where do you live? Because I don't think there are any dollar jewelry shops in my area, at least that I know of.

[aglanceatmyworld]

@ChirpingLlama You can also use suede or waxed cotton cording (found at Hobby Lobby or other craft supply stores). I live in Oklahoma and there are $1 jewelry stores everywhere here. I also know there are similar stores in the neighboring states. You can google things like 'cheap jewelry store' or 'dollar jewelry store' to see if there are any around you.

[missthis897]

ooooh Very creative! I love how this turned out!

[vivaDanielle]

Thank you for this video! First off, I've been buying dollar store jewelry to DIY for forever, such a great trick :) Also, I've been in love with wrap bracelets but haven't been able to figure construction to my liking...but I love this! I can't wait to try!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@vivaDanielle Awesome! Glad you are a fellow dollar store DIYer :) So glad the tutorial was helpful and can't wait to hear how your bracelet turns out!

[xoxpriscilla]

i absolutely love this! i am going to try it sometime!!! thanks for doing this video! please keep more videos like this coming!! :)

[yayii527]

I made one! Its not as cute buttt

[karen77777vegas]

absoluely a great vid;) girl keep these coming to us and thank u, as i always wanted to make one of these bracelets myself, now i can;) thanks again!!

[sophiemercedes1]

I like what it looks like. More my sister style...so I'll make one as a gift to her =)

[pakt40]

would have looked nicer with round leather cord. just my opinion

[aglanceatmyworld]

@pakt40 Yes, and I considered buying leather cording...but couldn't find any in the color and length I wanted. So I used what I already had and ended up liking the kinda of rough look of it :)

[thisthatwhatev]

I made it and I love it!!!!! Thank you

[aglanceatmyworld]

@thisthatwhatev That's awesome! Glad you love how it turned out :) I would love to see a photo!

[majawow]

turned out great! i wonder if the chinese copy this and the somth like this appear in one dollar store soon...

[SunshineCici1]

Thanks for this! Do you know of any chains of $1 jewelry stores that might be in the Tempe/Phoenix, AZ area? I have never seen one!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@SunshineCici1 I'm not sure...I just know there are a TON of those stores around here so I figured they were popping up everywhere else too. If you can't find a $1 jewelry store then try looking at Dollar Tree (or other discount stores) for beads or you can buy beads at an art supply store. Hope that helps :)

[sassylassy01]

That is so clever!!! My sister makes awesome bracelets but. I would like to make this for her. Maybe... She is real good and me, err not so much. Great idea though!!!

[ImprintationUponEd]

its nice but looks little clumpsy,well Can you show anything which i can make and gift to my Twilight Saga obssessed friends?

[Actuallie26]

Beautiful!! how long did it take you to make? That elephant button is amazing!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@Actuallie26 About 2 or 3 hours...but I was teaching myself as I made it. So it should take a little less time for someone who has seen this tutorial :) Once you get into the groove it goes really smoothly. Thanks! The elephant came from the jewelry section of Hobby Lobby

[MissPersiaAli]

I love your eyebrows

[aglanceatmyworld]

@MissPersiaAli Thanks :)

[6732352]

thanks for the vid!! this is exactly wat i was looking for!! im making mine now!!! :D

[weirdocentric23]

awwwwwesome

[ChocolatePeach24]

where did you get your leather cording from?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@ChocolatePeach24 From Hobby Lobby.  I chose to buy the the odds and ends bag for about $4...much cheaper then buying 1 spool of leather. It came with black and brown in various lengths :)

[PTuinman]

I just made my second wrap bracelet, the same as my first one but this one wraps around my wrist 3 times. I love it!! I'll show a picture soon if I can :P

[TiensHands]

This looks really nice! Thanks for the tutorial. I will try it out pretty soon!

[TheMrkate]

Love IT!!! Great job! Your personality shines and the bracelet looks fantastic! xx - kate

[aglanceatmyworld]

@TheMrkate Thank you Kate!

[wereall2youngx]

Any advice for substituting the leather?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@wereall2youngx Suede or waxed cotton cording (if it's thick enough) would work :) 

[wereall2youngx]

@aglanceatmyworld Thanks! :) This is an adorable bracelet!

[gatafierrra]

@wereall2youngx You can use waxed linen cord, cotton cord, faux leather/rubber cord. Waxed linen, suede, etc. is available for super cheap at Walmart (if there is a walmart where you live), and of course, at Michaels or any jewelery/craft store.

[Rochelle96x]

Awesome !! . x 

[vennylou]

this is one of my favorite projects ever!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@vennylou Awesome!  Glad you love it :)

[elfynlied]

@aglanceatmyworld hello Whit, am a beginner at sewing. when i say beginner i mean no sewing classes at all but i want to get a sewing machine for the kind of crafts you do and all other ones shown on threadbanger (pillbox, cushions,, pillows, dresses etc.) cld u give some tips on what to look for in a sewing machine used for stuff like that. like brands or functional musts on a machine, incase i dont get d brand u recomm. thanks!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@elfynlied Hi, I'm sorry but I don't recommend machines. I don't keep up with the market and reviews...because I use vintage sewing machines 95% of the time. As long as you stick with a well known brand (singer, brother, janome, etc) you should be fine. My first sewing machine was a janome my mom gave me for Christmas..it was about $85. I used it hard for 5-6 years because I ever had any trouble. Any basic machine that sews striaght, zig zag and reverse is all you need to get started. See below

[aglanceatmyworld]

@aglanceatmyworld The key is to read the manual before you ever even thread your sewing machine. Also remember that your machine does not have super powers...every machine has limits. Like don't expect it to be able to sew over 5 layers of denim with a regular sewing needle and nothing bad happen. Your needle will break and your fabric could get jammed in your machine.

With all that being said...best of luck with getting a machine and with your sewing :)

[PINKFOREVA19]

Please.. shape your eyebrows a littlee bit?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@PINKFOREVA19 Hehe haven't had an eyebrow complaint in several months...I've been expecting this :) I like my eyebrows as is...and since they are on my face that is how they will stay!

[PINKFOREVA19]

@aglanceatmyworld I didnt mean to sound like i was being nasty.. Just.. I cant get overr how thickk theyy are :L they look nicee, just im used to thinner eyebrows so i was like.. idk

[aglanceatmyworld]

@PINKFOREVA19 Hehe my brows are naturally even thicker then they are now. *shrug* I like them thick and don't like the look of thin eyebrows.

[JesssCreativeSpace]

I love so much... can you have a giveaway... for the bracelet?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@JesssCreativeSpace No giveaway...I made that bracelet for me to wear. But I will be having anothe giveaway soon :)

[o0berific]

FREAKIN AWESOME!!!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@o0berific Thanks :)

[blondeezrbanannaz]

I've never heard of u before, but now I love you :0

[aglanceatmyworld]

@blondeezrbanannaz Yay! Glad you like my channel :)

[thomasmccarty09]

:)

[BeckaL313]

My friends and I are planning on making these before one of our dorm sisters goes on a semester abroad! I love how the bracelets can be so individualized. :)

[RubyRoseDIY]

very very nice! Ill definitely make this soon! ;)

[aglanceatmyworld]

@RubyRoseDIY Glad you like the tutorial :) Let me know how yours turns out!

[hipretty]

I LOVE & watch all your videos even though I don't sew...but this is something I can do! Thank you for posting Whitney! :-)

[randomguda]

This is an easy (but long) and koolio bracelet!!!!!:D and now I HAVE to go make one or my mind will not go to rest!

[TigersPrettyBunny]

I LOVE this idea. I need to try it with some fun funky caribbean color beads. 

[stormyberetta]

Great video! The bracelet I made is so comfortable! Instant favorite...can't wait to rock it around town...or school, rather.

[aglanceatmyworld]

@stormyberetta Awesome! Glad you love how it turned out :) I bet you will ROCK it!

[megasaurusrx]

What a great idea!! How do you get the big bead at the end to lay flat?

[Fancylooks]

AWESOME!!!!!!!! Want to try this with some old beads i have kept for ages!

Why don't you sell these at your Etsy Shop?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@Fancylooks Cool, let me know how yours turns out :) I don't sell these because the bracelet in the video was my first one ever...and it took about 3 straight hours to make.  Maybe after things slow down a little I'll make some more and sell them...

[jennb752]

Oh...I forgot to ask..How to fastened the bracelet so it doesn't fall off? Or do you just tuck the end underneath?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@jennb752 I went throught the last colored bead twice then tied the thread in three knots around some of the other thread. Hope that answered your question :)

[PTuinman]

*Maybe you have some brand names for me? maybe I can find them around here

[PTuinman]

I was just searching a bit for crochet cotton, but it is hard to find here. I found weaving cotton, does that work too? And do you have some other tips or alternatives for crochet cotton?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@PTuinman Hehe calm down. Any kind of jewelry or crafting thread that is about the same weight as crochet thread will work...just go roaming down some craft aisles and see what you find. That's what I did :)

[PTuinman]

@aglanceatmyworld haha, oke, thank you for the tip! I will see what I can find :P

[PTuinman]

I just made my first one, SO EASY!! I didn't findleather for the time but I found kind of a cotton cord that looked like it, it was very thin though. Because it was such thin cord I used small brown wooden beads that I had with an antique gold looking button. I made it just single wrap as a trial, but I'm going to make a longer one soon! Also I don't have any crochet thread left so I'll have to buy more as well as leather and beads I'm planning to buy :P

[aglanceatmyworld]

@PTuinman Awesome! Can't wait to hear how the next one turns out :)

[bananashaveice]

Wow..that is sooo cool! I love it!! TFS!

[silverbracelet6]

There are no $1 jewelry stores here:( But I've done this before and for some odd reason the bracelet twists and twists?! Maybe I changed the direction of the wrap.... hmmmmm....

[aspireandachieve]

This is amazing! I will definitely be doing this sometime in the near future!

[PandaBaby51]

love love thanks!

[IMakeBoyzJizz]

Do u wear Invisalign?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@IMakeBoyzJizz Nope...why do you ask?

[IMakeBoyzJizz]

@aglanceatmyworld just wondering...kinda looks like you do...BTW i bought all the stuff to make the bracelet...cant wait to get crafty. =]

[aglanceatmyworld]

@IMakeBoyzJizz I wore braces 7 years ago and have just been really careful with my teeth since then. Let me know how your bracelet turns out :)

[billkaulitzluvagirl]

Totally loving this! I saw this picture in you fashion week playlist thingie but the actual video wasn't there so thanks for posting it! Definitely gonna make one!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@billkaulitzluvagirl Hehe yep...included the pic as a little teaser :) Glad you loved it!

[peculiarone339]

i love this! thanks for sharing!! =D

[Heismyrock3]

LOVE THIS Whitney! What a great idea!  I am starting a new job soon, and I need some affordable ways to change up my wardrobe! Thanks so much!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@Heismyrock3 Great idea! Best of luck with the new job :)

[Heismyrock3]

@aglanceatmyworld thanks Whitney!

[DonnaslifePart2]

How cute is that! You could even vary the feel of it by changing the type of cording and beads you use. Imagine black satin cord, metallic silver thread and silver and glass beads. oooh lala.

[aglanceatmyworld]

@DonnaslifePart2 Great idea! Sounds like a really awesome bracelet! :)

[EmoraDesigns]

I have been wanting to make want of these! TFS, Regan

[aglanceatmyworld]

@EmoraDesigns Awesome! Glad the tutorial could help :)

[silvertales]

This looks super time-consuming, but the result is lovely! Definitely going to have to try this, thanks for posting the tutorial, Whitney! :)

[danzdiva10]

OMG! I love this bracelet and I think I will be making one today! You are awesome and I love how you come up with ideas...thanks...

[aglanceatmyworld]

@danzdiva10 Awesome! I'm so glad you like it! Let me know how yours turns out :)

[mmorandin]

I'm craft challenged but I'm trying this you made it look super easy!

[IMakeBoyzJizz]

GONNA HAVE TO TRY THIS!!! it looks super hard though

[aglanceatmyworld]

@IMakeBoyzJizz Awesome! It's really not that hard. Once you get the first few beads on and get into a groove it's pretty simple...just takes a while.

[kittiperry1]

this is beyond beautiful

[aglanceatmyworld]

@kittiperry1 Aww thank you so much! I love how bright the colors :)

[cyhopkins]

tfs, great tut!!!

[xquizitetreazurez]

[jennb752]

Thank you Whitney for this awesome tutorial!! I can't wait to try these...They will make great Christmas/Birthday gifts!!

[MsZenZhen]

This is a great DIY, but I can't see you wearing this, I just don't see the bohemian chick as your style!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@MsZenZhen Really? I love wearing natural things like leather, turquoise, and wood jewelry! I don't go all out bohemian...but I mix in bits here and there. Glad you liked the project :)

[MsZenZhen]

@aglanceatmyworld I guess you'll have to do more Outfits of the Day :))))

[aglanceatmyworld]

@MsZenZhen I did a few on my other channel last year but mostly during the winter...I don't wear anything cute in the winter because I'm so cold nature I just focus on staying warm!

[onebigladybug]

thanks sooooo much for this tutorial!! My youngest girl so not a kid anymore is 23 but she is our free spirit ..aka my little hippie since forever.... I am going to have to attempt this to see if I can make this for her..if not...I know she will be able to do it!! Love your videos

[aglanceatmyworld]

@onebigladybug Glad you like the tutorial :) I'm sure you can make a great bracelet for your daughter and she'll love it!

[graymalking82]

Fantastic! This is a great stash buster. I have some random beads left over from other projects, now I know what I'll be doing with them :)

[aglanceatmyworld]

@graymalking82 Awesome! And it doesn't take as many beads as I showed in the bowls...I had over half of them left. I meant to show the leftovers but forgot to add that clip in at the end. I'd love to see your bracelet when it's done :)

[TdblGrr]

will definitely need to try this! Great Vid!!!!

[BeautyWithArtemi]

You are so creative! This was amazing!! :)

[junkholder]

Cute.. You have way more patience than I do!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@junkholder Hehe I was really determined because I wanted one of these bracelets so bad...but was NOT going to pay $275-$325 for the ones I found online and love! That's where the patience came from :)

[scharazada]

i love it!!! u are so cool :)

[leggsXinXaXtopXhat]

very cute.

i will have to try that.

[PTuinman]

Awesome! Just have to find some leather and I will sure make one! Love your bead colours!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@PTuinman Thank you! I've seen so many great guy versions of wrap bracelets!  Let me know how yours turns out :)

[luhhvvleeLOUD]

so cool!!

[kolpiuy56]

1 dollar jewelry store? WHERE?!

[Zoidle]

@kolpiuy56 I do know there is a place called Glitter, they are in malls last time I checked.

[aglanceatmyworld]

@kolpiuy56 We have stores called '$1 Jewelry and more, and 'A Buck Jewelry' all over the place around here. You could also use beads from Dollar Tree or a craft supply store :)

[kaylathefashiongirl]

amazing bracelet!!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@kaylathefashiongirl Thanks! :)

[maahreechan]

[aglanceatmyworld]

@Aniceta1986 Awesome! :)

[xoMsLilie]

Oh this is just so adorable & fashionable. No one would ever know it was made at home, thank you for this video :) Keep up the great work.

[aglanceatmyworld]

@xoMsLilie Thanks! Glad you like the bracelet :) I'm really proud of how it turned out since I had never made anything like before.

[readwriteread]

I've never seen dollar jewelry. Where did you buy them?

[aglanceatmyworld]

@readwriteread There are stores all over around here can '$1 Jewelry and More', 'A Buck Jewelry', '$1 Jewelry Galore', etc. I bought them at one of those stores. You can also find wooden beads at Dollar Tree sometimes or buy packs of beads at a craft store. Hope that helps :)

[AllStar628]

omg amazing! I've been meaning to make something like this for a while and I actually just bought suede lace the other day! Can't wait to get started on this now!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@AllStar628 That's awesome! Let me know how yours turns out :)

[aglanceatmyworld]

@scrappingtodo Hehe thank you :)  I do my best to make every project easy enough for crafters of any skill level!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@ArtsyMouse Yep...the ones I fell in love with were $275-$325 o.O That's half my mortgage payment each month! That's why I was determined to make my own. So glad you liked how it turned out!

[doingyurmom]

can I just say I love you? cuz I do... LOL!!!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@doingyurmom Hehe :) Thank you!

[aglanceatmyworld]

@ArtsyMouse It is pretty easy...just very time consuming! That one took me about 3 hours of non-stop work...

[IndieDream231]

@IndieDream231 Hehe and here it is :)
