Diy Metallic Washer Bracelet

Maret 10, 2017

These metallic washer bracelets are a neat teen craft! Might sell good at arts and crafts sale fundraisers?

I adapted this from the Metal Washer + Ribbon necklace tutorial. Fold-over elastic makes it slowly to accept these bracelets on too off. Younger kids tin brand these, too. Just brand certain there's a responsible adult roughly to melt the ends of the elastic.

Supplies:

Approx. 22 inches Fold-Over Elastic - I bought this pack at Walmart for $2.97
(8-12) 1/2" Flat Washers, Zinc - Bought at Lowes, $2.19 for pack of 25. You tin purchase these past times the piece, only make certain to expire these zinc washers too non the galvanized ones. The galvanized washers conduct maintain a neat patina but the pocketbook carries a cancer warning!
Scissors
Lighter or lit candle

Look at your washers. They each conduct maintain a smooth-edge side. These should appear upward.

Cut 22" of fold-over elastic. The blueprint side should appear upward.

Start close 1 1/2" away from the left terminate of the elastic. Take 2 washers too house them on the elastic similar the film below.

For washer #1, house the elastic nether the left side too over the correct side. For washer #2, house the elastic OVER the left side too nether the correct side. Place the left side of #2 over the correct side of #1

Flip washer #2 to the left (upside down). Thread the elastic through the hole of washer #1.

Flip washer #2 to the right.

Thread the elastic through the hole of washer #2 past times pulling it from nether washer #2.

Repeat alongside remaining washers. I used nine 9 washers.

Flip upside down.

Bring ends together too knot. Try it on to run across if the bracelet fits well.

Tighten knot too snip off the excess. Light your candle too convey the ends of the elastic NEAR (NOT IN) the flame. This volition slightly melt the ends too proceed the elastic from raveling. If the elastic is smoking or turning black, you've burned it! Trim too endeavour again.
