today I have a fun little project for you; a tassel bracelet that you can make in a snip!
I came across this cute idea from I spy DIY on pinterest and immediately wanted to try it.
all the items needed are easily available on eBay, etsy or in craft shops! Just follow the steps below to make your own DIY tassel jewellery:
it's a really simple idea, mine took less than half an hour and there's lots of variations if you want to experiment... I think next time I'll opt for some chunky silver chains and different colour threads.
have any of you made something similar.. would you try this DIY?
back soon!

eeek I love this DIY!
I've seen loads of these little pendants on pinterest and wanted to give it a go myself.
It's easy peasy and cheap as chips to make. it would be a cute little present for a friend or loved one but I have a feeling I'll be keeping most of them for myself..
you don't need much for this project, the main purchase is little cork topped glass bottle which are only a few pound with shipping on eBay
you'll need,
glass bottles with cork stoppers
a long chain, I just recycled an old necklace.
wire
pliers
paper
string
take your paper and cut to fit inside the bottle. write on your personal message (mine is a secret!)
tie your message with string and place into your bottle.
use a toothpick to make a small hole through the cork stopper.
thread the wire through and make a loop at the bottom to secure.
thread your chain onto the other end of the wire, make another loop over with your pliers to keep everything in place.
that's it! your message in a bottle is now ready to wear or to give to a friend.. (I told you it was easy!)
hope you have fun if you try this out for yourselves!

I've been making these chain bracelets all summer; it only just occurred to me to show you guys when I was thinking about DIY posts I could share!
they're pretty easy to make! they look daunting but it's mostly just a case of looping a long piece of thread through the chain links, knotting and repeating the process until you run out of chain (see not so bad after all!)
I brought my gold coloured chain from hobbycraft where you can buy it by the meter, it costs a few pounds and makes at least 5 bracelets..bargain! here's a little guide on how to make them:
you can use all kinds of colours I have blue, purple and yellow ones, I've seen a version with skinny leather strips instead of string/thread which looks great! get creative and see what you'll be surprised what you'll come up with..
hope you like it!
