DIY BOHO bracelet for the beach

One day I was digging my office accessories like the plastic envelopes, one of them was broken so my lightbulb in my head started to flash. As I have finished also my crochet bikini for the summer and I had some leftover cotton to create these Positano Amalfi coast style. (Yes already my head on the beach but soon soon.) :)
 HERE WE GO!!
Old pears are fabulous to create new stuff

Some Tassels
Be original :)


Summer breeze

For the bracelet you will need :
Plastic envelopes or other plastic material
paper hole maker
some old bracelets, stones, pearls etc. 
jewellery closing locks
scissors
some cotton yarn
creativity
crochet hook, I used 2,50 mm

DIY BOHO

Start to make some holes into plastic envelope, you can practice on paper first. I used only one hole maker. If you use both holes doesn't come out very linear way. So Practice before. to get linear holes, see the hole that you have made near the edge of the holemaker to make second hole, this way the spacing remains the same between the holes about 1 cm. As you can see on the photo I don't cut straight.  

HOLING :)

Next step, cut the plastic, snap also the end of the plastic.(white part) You should have now double length plastic ribbon. 

Cutting the form
Shell Stitch
Start to make Shell Stitch Around the plastic ribbon. Make 5 Shell stitch every hole. 

Shell Stitching
When you have go around the ribbon cast off the endings. Now you can get creative, you can make some braided cotton and add it to your bracelet into the holes. Add some stones and pearls or whatever you want. Best thing is that you can co into water with these double bracelets. :) Until waiting the summer...

Here are some photos about this amazing place like Amalfi Coast, I am a lucky to live near here :)
