Hi! Welcome to Small for Big – the place where all things playful and well-designed hang out together! (scroll down to learn more about my design finds!)
Um. I have this overwhelming addiction right now: DIY Bracelets. I want a stack of them a mile wide going up my arm (the one that ISN’T covered in Shingles, thank you very much). And, for the moms out there, most of these bracelets could easily be shortened down to pint-size kiddo versions – and they’d be done faster too. Still, I think my bracelet fascination comes from the satisfaction of taking a little time to make something stylish just for me. This summer I’m trying hard to spend less moola, so this is another way to fuel my need for something new, without breaking into my bank account!
I’ve already made the first three bracelets on the list – but maybe one day I’ll have tried them all. You can see all of my favorite DIY bracelets on my Pinterest board – did I forget any? Please share your favorites in the comments!

Apparently it was taken without due credit by Saifou.
Thank you! I’ve just fixed the link to give Honestly WTF their due. :)
The pink 1 seems to be annother bracelet then the rest ( the square bracelets ), how do i make that one?
In the bottom right hand photo? I believe it’s the same technique as the other two, but it uses flat ribbons instead of round cord. So it just looks different. Have fun!
Really when someone doesn’t know then its up to other viewers that they will assist, so here it happens.
love the lok of thin leather and metal curved piece
Here are my top 30 pics of DIY bracelets – with the tutorials linked through where available!
