DIY ArmCandy, Summers Hottest Trend
One of summer's hottest trends, ArmCandy! What is ArmCandy you ask? ArmCandy is the way you stack your bracelets on your wrists, some stack a lot and some stack only a few. I decided to do some DIY ArmCandy, this DIY is super easy to do and won't burn a hole through your wallet.
Materials you'll need:
Colorful string (can be any kind of string: rope, string, etc.)
Jewelry clasps
Any kind of beads (you can even use brass screw nuts for a more edgy look, but make sure they are brass or stainless steel since it is skin safe)
Super Glue (to glue off the ends of the string so they do not fray)
How to make this amazing DIY ArmCandy:
You will need to cut three 25 inch pieces of string, tie on one of the clasps. Once you have tied on the clasp cut off any extra string and put a dot of super glue so the knot does not come undone. After you have tied and glued, braid down the string about 1 inch to 1.5 inches. Than you add the beads (I used between 10 to 20 beads) each side and keep braiding down. You can put a lot of beads or a few, remember this is YOUR DIY project. After you are done using all the beads you want braid another 1 inch to 1.5 inches down, tie on the last part of the clasp put a little glue on the knot and trim the extra string and you are DONE!
