DIY: Bracelets

So Miss Mel talked about arm parties already but I just wanted to share a few fun and easy ways to make your arm party happen with bracelets you made all by yourself!

These are all bracelets we made!

The first bracelet, on the left, called a woven chain bracelet is something we found on Pinterest and adapted to make it our own but here's the directions and what their bracelet looked like:

The next one, second to the left, (blue, green and yellow) was made out of colored hemp that I love to use! Its a simple diagonal friendship bracelet and here's how to make one for yourself!

The black bracelet, or third from the left, is called a wrap bracelet and here's where we learned how to make it! Here is another tutorial I really enjoyed on similar bracelets.

The last bracelet is another colored hemp one that I did using the half hitch- double knot technique. Pictured below are the directions for this one!

Hope you guys learned how to make some fun new bracelets! What's your favorite type of bracelet to wear/make? We love learning about new and inventive bracelets to make!

Style Obession: "Arm Party"

 
One of the newest trends and newest trend words "arm party" has recently become my new style obsession. Miss Heather and I have been making string friendship bracelets for years (DIY post to come) but now fashionastias are shelling out anywhere from $4.00 at Target to $195 at boutiques for these bracelets.
*in St. Louis you can get them at Ivy Hill in the Central West End or Vie in Ladue*



If any of you read The Man Repeller blog (you should if you don't! She's on our list of Blogger Inspirations!), you will know that she has coined the phrase "arm party". 
*I think she even copyrighted it! Good for her!*
"Arm Party" essentially means piling up as many bracelets as you can on your arm. The key is to mix thin, dainty bracelets with large chunky ones and viola! instant "arm party".

What do you think? Do you love the look?
