    Pretty Preppy Bracelets

    DIY Ribbon Bracelets

    This post first appeared on 30 Handmade Days //  Labor Day is over and so is summer. So for my last official act of summer, I am sharing an idea for these fun Pretty Preppy Bracelets.

    Preppy Bracelets

     

    Today I’m going to be showing you how to make these fun preppy summer bracelets!  They are super easy and a fun way to keep a little bit of summer with you all year long.

    In May I took a trip to NYC with my kids, I picked up lots of fun ribbon and trim, I’m excited to be using some of it today!

    Preppy Bracelets

    For this project you’ll need:

     

    Ribbon Jewelry

     

    • Decorative Trim
    • Velvet Ribbon
    • Pom Pom Trim
    • Lobster Clasps
    • Jump Rings
    • Needlenose pliers
    • Ribbon Ends (buy them in the jewelry aisle of the craft store)
    • Chain
    • Fusible Seam Tape in the same width as your ribbon

    Begin by cutting your ribbons down to 6” long.  This project will fit a teenage girl-adult, if you are making these for little kids I’d recommend only using 4” of ribbon.

    Using your fusible seam tape, iron your ribbon and trim to each other, wrong sides together.

    Attach the ribbon end to each end of the ribbon using your pliers.

    Then use a jump ring to attach a lobster clasp to the ribbon end.

    Next splice out your chain to 3” long.  Using another jump ring attach it to the other end of the ribbon.

    It will look like this when you are done.

    To make the pom pom bracelet, do the same thing, but you don’t need to iron ribbon to the back, just attach the ribbon ends and chain.

    VOILA! It’s all done and ready to wear!
