​Instructions:

1. Thread two wooden disc beads, one daisy spacer, and one metal bead onto an eye pin.
2. Use side cutting pliers to cut the eye pin, leaving approximately 1 cm of wire.
3. With pliers, create a small angle by bending the wire slightly at the end.
4. Using round nose pliers, create a loop at one end of the wire.
5. If the hole in the cowrie shell is too small for the jump ring, carefully enlarge it using a bead reamer or small round file. 
6. Using pliers, open a 9mm heavy gauge jump ring.
7. Attach the opened jump ring to the cowrie shell.
8. Attach the eye pin loop to the heavy gauge jump ring attached to the cowrie shell, ensuring it is securely closed with pliers.
9. Attach an earring hook (which also has an eye pin loop) to the top of the eye pin loop using pliers.

​
Repeat steps 2-9 to create a matching earring.

Once both earrings are complete, use pliers to adjust any loops or connections as necessary, ensuring the earrings hang evenly.

If you're looking for a creative way to upcycle your plastic grocery bags, then you'll love this eco-friendly DIY project! With just a few supplies, you can transform those bags into a boho-chic bangle bracelet that's perfect for any casual occasion. Not only is it stylish, but it's also a great way to repurpose those plastic bags that would otherwise end up in landfill. Give it a try and see how easy it is to turn trash into treasure! 

Instructions:

1. Prepare a plastic grocery bag by removing any stickers or labels.
2. Cut both sides of the plastic bag to make it a long rectangular shape.
3. Fold the plastic bag into thirds and cut it into three pieces.
4. Make strips: Layer the three pieces on top of each other and fold them in half. Cut them in half again.
5. Repeat the process twice more. 
6. Tape the top of the strips together to secure them. Now you have a large tassel.
7. Attach the top of the strips to a clipboard, if you have one, to make braiding easier. Divide the strips into three equal sections and start braiding a 3-strand braid.
8. Braid until you reach the desired length for your bracelet (approximately 7-8 inches depending on wrist size). Cut off any excess plastic bag strips. Tape the end of the strips together.
9. Leaving 1 inch or so, apply fabric glue on the plastic braid and wrap yarn around it.
10. You can use different colors of yarn for a more colorful bracelet. Wrap the yarn every 2 cm or so.
11. Leave 1 inch or so at the end of the plastic braid, and tape two braid ends together to form a ring.
12. Finish wrapping the braid with yarn until it is completely covered. Apply a final layer of fabric glue to secure the yarn in place.

​
Let the glue dry completely before wearing your new plastic bag bracelet. Enjoy!

Want to make more eco-friendly bracelets using plastic grocery bags? Check out the previous blog post on DIY Rustic Jute Cord Bracelets from Reused Plastic Bags - A Fun and Eco-Friendly Project that's both stylish and sustainable.

Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of kraft paper to the desired shape and size using a paper trimmer or scissors. For this project, I recommend a 2 x 2-inch square. Using a paper trimmer will make it easier to cut a straight line. I used 65lb. kraft paper, however, you can use heavier-weight kraft paper like 80-100lb. or any card stock if you already have one. When the paper gets thicker, it's a little harder to punch a hole. But if it is thin, the tag gets bent easily. 65lb. is the minimum in my opinion.
2. Using a stamp set, stamp a design onto the paper using an ink pad. You can choose any design you like.
3. Use a hole punch to make a hole in one of the corners of the tag. Make sure the hole is large enough to fit the jute cord. 
4. Cut a piece of jute cord to approximately 7-8 inches in length. Tie a knot at one end of the cord. 
5. Thread the other end of the cord through the hole in the tag, and loop it back through the knot. 
6. Attach the tag to the bracelet. 

And there you have it! With just a few simple steps, you can create beautiful handmade tags for your DIY bracelets. Happy crafting!

Instructions:

1. Using fabric glue, wrap jute cord around the plastic braid.
2. Keep wrapping until it is completely covered. You will have a jute cord wrapped stick (bracelet base).
3. Take two different sized coconut shell beads and layer them. Thread hemp cord through the buttonholes.
4. Place the coconut buttons in the midpoint of the jute cord wrapped bracelet base. Wrap the hemp cord around the jute stick and tie a knot. Use fabric glue to secure it.
5. Repeat the process to attach a small coconut button to one end of the jute cord wrapped stick.
6. Create a loop closure: Cut a 36-inch hemp cord. Fold it in half three times and tie a loop knot.
7. Place the hemp cord loop on one end of the jute cord wrapped stick.
8. Using fabric glue, wrap a jute cord around the hemp cord loop to secure it.
9. Now you have a loop and button closure jute cord wrapped bracelet.
