Boho bracelets

Easy to make and use tiny scraps these are fun

I use 9 1/2 inches of cotton clothes line/ macrame cord and tack it into a bracelet shape. Slimmer hands might only need 9 inches.

I then wind 1/2 inch wide strips tightly around and slow stitch them in place using 6 threads of embroidery thread which also strengthens the join of the base cord.

Sometimes the thread is contrasting the fabric, other time I keep it plain. I have also used invisible thread.

I then wind more embroidery thread over the strips as a decoration and further strengthener.

For a final touch some bracelets have beads or charms added. I have used up lots of stray items this way. Just needed to. Remember to keep the embellishments outside the bracelets so they don’t rub your wrist.

Each takes about 30 minutes to make. I now have a stack to coordinate with different outfits.
