DIY Under $5 Bracelet Instructions & a Hair Bow

May 18, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 6 Comments

Today for DIY under $5 I will share with you some bracelet instructions and a hair bow. These little ruffly numbers are super easy and will add some style in a flash.

Bracelet instructions:

Supplies:
  • ruffle trim
  • snaps
  • needle and thread
  • button
I got the idea of using trim for bracelets from Blue Cricket Design. I loved her bracelets, but I saw the snaps in the same section as the trim and knew they would work for my ruffle bracelet. So, I saved myself a trip to the jewelry area and went with snaps.

1. Cut trim to be just bigger than your wrist. {hot glue ends under if needed for finished look}
2. Sew snaps in place on each end with needle and thread.
3. Sew on a button for a little added flair.

Use the extra bit of trim for a hair bow.

Supplies:
  • ruffle trim
  • houndstooth ribbon
  • snap clip (pack of like 10 at the dollar store)
  • hot glue
  • needle & thread
  • button

1. Glue a piece of trim to cover the entire snap clip.
2. Make a yo yo flower with your ribbon (you can follow steps 1-4 here, the glue will take care of the rest)
3. Glue the flower on the end of the trim and the button on the middle of the flower.


Don’t worry, that huge weird thing next to my cheek is a knot in the wood door.

I spent less than $4, but will have stuff left for another project. Trim was about 50 cents, snaps a dollar or two and ribbon $1.

Now it’s time to link up your $5 projects!

Please remember:

  • Only link to your own projects that cost you $5 or less (price does not have to include items you had on hand)
  • You can link past projects that fit the dollar limit, but please only link each project once
  • Please link back so others can join the party and so you have the opportunity to be featured on Saturday!

    So, it’s been a long week already, which is why my post has my name on it (Emily) instead of the name of the project! Wow. I need a break. Regardless, thanks for the opportunity to share again!
