DIY Braid-a-Bracelet

The sun is peaking on a perfectly polished saturday, aw (I know I shouldn't be saying cause I'm sure it will lead to clouds and rain... but it had to be shared!). 
But if rain do arrive (or if you are already in a rain cloud) this is the perfect DIY to keep you occupied. 

When I was up north last month Dadda (my grand mums sister) gave me an old sowing box with stuff that their mum had collected. It was filled with all ribbon, cute buttons and old lace, I mean HEAVEN! 
The bracelet DIY for today is made with thin gross grain ribbon (from the 18hundreds.... actually), two jump rings, a lobster lock and some gold chain.

  10. I wish you had actual directions on how to make it, because otherwise it is very difficult to do!

    1. I am sorry :) all you do is attache the chain and string to the jump ring, braid it and attach a lump ring on the other end. Add the lock to the jump ring and you are ready to wear it :)
      Hope that helps you, :) Ill add more detailed explanations in the future :)

    1. Hi, to be honest i dont really know where to find this exact one. I found it in my great grandma's sewing kit. But i am sure you can find thin silk or grosgrain ribbon that will work really well!!
