Yes, I know, I have to stop making bracelets. It’s an addiction. Is there a support group for this? But I see these fun, colorful wrap bracelets everywhere, and they are sooo easy that even this craft-challenged mom can’t resist.
And seriously J. Crew, $36 for this?

DIY Hex Nut Wrap Bracelet
Step 1: Get thee to Goodwill and buy a crazy heinous skirt for $3. Then stop by the hardware store for a dozen or so brass hex nuts at 15 cents each. (You might want to pick up a few extra to make this bracelet.)
And you’ve shelled out about $5. (Why are all my projects $5? It’s not a Lincoln conspiracy, I promise.)

Step 2: Cut a piece about 4 inches wide. Thinner is okay (not too much or it will just look sad), but you can’t go much thicker because your hex nuts won’t fit. Length can vary – the longer it is the more times it will wrap on your wrist. Also, the ragged edges are cool so don’t stress about hemming or fraying.

Step 3: Tie a knot in one end and twist the entire length.
Step 4: Feed your hex nuts on, spacing them however you want. Don’t glue them on – the width of the fabric will be enough to keep them in place. Plus then you can adjust them after you put the bracelet on.
Step 5: Tie the two ends together in a knot so it forms a circle.

Step 6: Wind it around your wrist! You can move the hex nuts around for a better visual.

I love the chance to wear a bold color. So, obviously, I’m a bracelet person. What types of jewelry do you favor?
SO cute!!!! Orangies Attic

I love this bracelet… I'm going to have to try it.. thank you for sharing the steps.. so simple and beautiful.
I'm stopping by from High on Life
Lol…Lincoln conspiracy 🙂 I love the wrap…and the skirt…cheap crafts are the best!
I love the bracelets you are making! Maybe you need to make a little shop with all your DIY creations… I am so impressed with your creative ideas–you must have gotten all the creative genes, but I can appreciate 🙂
What a cute idea! Love that you spent so much less on it.
Love this idea! simple and very stylish! I´m a new follower now! ciao
Anytime you can save $30 is a good day! Nice knock off. Thanks for linking up with DIY under $5!
Cool! I tend to forget to put on jewelry 🙁 .
I made the other bracelet you mention here with full-sized hex nuts and some yarn (bulky weight? heavy worsted? Lost the label!). It didn’t work out as I’d hoped :\ . I might have to spring for some heavier twine—and/or use shorter jam nuts like the ones you have here.
SUPER cute! I love it. Posted about it at my blog, Nikki Rae's, and linked back to your post.
I really love the simplicity of this! I have liked the whole hex nut bracelet trend, but I think that a bracelet with them all braided together is too overpowering on my little wrist. This is a really great idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
Super cute! LOVE the idea! I'm visiting from Tip Junkie!
eeek! i want one!!! i've got to try this out — love it!
Let me know how it turns out! (Love your blog title!) 🙂
love it! so great looking

Love me some fabric bracelets and this one's great! Thanks!
Found you via Tip Junkie
I have a dear friend that would wear this and I have some clothes that are sadly in need of being cut up.
I'm sorry,
But I WANT THAT SKIRT
is that bad?
No, I wouldn’t say that, I loved it!
Necklace girl. But you've got me thinking. Got a heinous t-shirt right here at the ready.
This is great!! I love it! Makes me want to go to G-dub and my hardware store now!! Thanks for the tutorial!
lovely! i just went through my closet and found a bunch of old clothes to upcycle, and this is definitely going to be on my project list…thanks for the inspiration!
Muy bonito, FELICITACIONES¡¡¡¡¡
Could cut up the rest of the skirt for a scarf to match.
I don’t consider myself a jewelry person, but this – I must make and have. I love the style and simplicity. Found this on Pinterest, so happy to have found your site! Good luck weathering the first trimester… I just made it through mine, and I promise, there is light at the end of that tunnel.
that’s a nice idea! I’ll try to do it some day!
Hi there, I found your blog by way of Google even as searching for a similar matter, your web site came up, it appears to be like good. I’ve bookmarked to my favourites|added to my bookmarks.
That is sooo creative and cheap…YAY!
I love this tutorial! I didn’t have any hex nuts laying around, and we’re snowed in, so I used pandora-style beads instead, It turned out really great! I wish I could post a photo to show you!
