Chic Bolt Bracelet!

Holla! 

When I was looking through the popular page on my Instagram,

 I saw this super cute bolt bracelet. 

And i thought, that would be so fun and easy to make!

So, today's post is a tutorial on how to make an Industrial inspired bolt bracelet!

What you will need :

- 1 pack of small bolts. 

I purchased mine at the local hardware store

 and they were $5.85 for a pack of 100.

-1  pack of black/white elastic (4 meters)

I purchased this at the dollar store for $2.

-Scissors 

How to : 

Depending on the amount of bolts you want to put on each rung,

40cm - One per rung. 

50cm - Two per rung.

60cm - Three per rung.

Cut your elastic to your desired size. 

Making sure the bolts are in the middle of the elastic, 

start threading the bolts through the elastic.

One side of the elastic through the right side, 

And the other through the left. 

Pull both sides of the elastic through evenly. The bolts should look like the picture above and also should be in the center of the elastic. 

Its important it has a small loop at the start, before the bolts.

Continue this step until the bracelet wraps around your wrist.

Make sure the bracelet is pulled tight each time you thread the bolts through.

I alternated which way the bolts faced, to give it an uneven effect.

Once the all the required bolt are threaded onto the elastic,

 pull both sides really tightly so that there is no gaps between the rung of bolts.

Tie a tight double knot. 

Thread one side of the elastic through the loop 

where we started to make the bracelet and tie a triple knot.

Now it should look like a bracelet! 

Cut off the excess elastic and

stretch the bracelet out so its all the bolts are evenly spaced out. 

And there we have it ! 

A chic, industrial inspired bracelet that shine in the sunlight!

I would pair this bracelet with gold, silver and black bracelets, watches and rings. 

It's Great for layering Jewelry too !

It's so cheap and easy to make, at a total cost of $7.85, 

it makes about 3 bracelets. 

It honestly would be silly not to make it !

Until next time..
