Accessory Tutorials!

I got inpired by Cassie over at Drummbellina's post about bracelet love and prettying up your wrists. Check out her post about it, lots of eye-candy there! She's doing a little challenge over there. The date has been extended from 1st September to the 1st October! That gives you plenty of time to make some bracelets and take some photos of your wrists dripping in them!

I foraged all day Saturday looking for cool bracelet ideas and tutorials and I found some awesome ones! Are you ready? Check out the sites these tutorials are from, there's bound ot be LOADS of gold hidden there!

Upcycled Bangle by Thera!
Zipper Cuff by Stacey!
Fabric Cuffs
Pegs. Yep Pegs!

Safety Pins
Spoon
Starburst Wrappers
Fabric + Yarn Cuffs
Sailor Knot
Friendship Bracelets

This site is dedicated to Friendship bracelets! Loads of patterns! I need to get me some thread and start making a million to hand out to my friends :)

Finger-Loop Braiding
Make this bracelet from t-shirt scraps!
Pop-Tab Bracelet
Origami Watch
I'm pretty certain, if you got a bit enough piece of paper, this could be made to be worn on your wrist!

Motherboard bracelet
Toothbrush Bangle!
So need to make one of these!

Using Keyboard Keys


Origami Bangle




Pins/Brooches
Coke Can + Playing Card Brooches
I love this idea! I have a coke can I got yesterday on the sink right now, just waiting for me to cut it up!

Button Flowers


Zipper Flower




Earrings

Pencil Sharpener Earrings!
DNA earrings
I was always fascinated by science, but I didn't ever think I'd be smart enough to understand it. Because of my love for Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory, I think I'll make these anyway, in his honour!

Gauges? YES PLEASE!

Necklaces

Fabric Chain
Fabric Scraps
Spirographs
Atmosphere
This one is not a tutorial, but I just love the idea of it! The clouds, the weather balloon, no one else would have any idea what it meant, but you do!

Fabric Braided Necklace
Leather Chain
This could work as a bracelet too. Also, how cool would it be to make a necklace like this, then stitch teh ends to the shoulder seams of a shirt so it hangs on a tee like a permanent necklace!

See these discs?
They are from the centre of COMPUTER DISCS!
Remember them?
Necklace made from an old pair of earrings on Doe C Doe
Macaroni Necklace!
I want to get the monster to paint some macaroni for me, then help him string it up so I have a necklace to wear :)

Pearl Necklace? Try Cornstarch Clay!
Gloomy Bear Necklace
I'm not interested in Gloomy Bear in the slightest, but I do think it'd be easy to make this into a simple little teddy!

Fabric Balls

Rings

Origami

Other

Friendship Wrap
I love this so much. It's like a friendship bracelet, but longer. You can wear it as a doubled up necklace, or as a body wrap! it's got like a bohemian, surf-cult feel to it!

Paper Beads

I remember making these as a kid. It's a great way to use up junkmail!

Fingerless Mittens from a sweater
Oh man. So damn cute!
Octopus Charm


I'm going to keep updating this post as more tutorials crop up.
