Calypso St. Barth DIY Bracelet

0 · May 11, 2011 · Stephanie Gerber · 5 Comments

Browsing the Calypso St. Barth line at Target the other day, I saw this lovely woven bracelet. This looked WAY too easy to spend $20 bucks on. (It says $15 online but I swear it was more at my Target.)

Calypso St. Barth DIY Bracelet | HelloGlow.coQuick aside – I didn’t end up buying anything from the Calypso collection. It was expensive! I tried on one tunic top and could not cough up over $30 for it. I mean, really, this is STILL Target people.

But back to the bracelet. I paid $2.37 for the ribbon (bought 3 yards, only needed 2) and $2.79 for the chain. It literally took less than 5 minutes to make.

Get 2 yards of whatever color ribbon you like and small link gold (or silver) chain. I used ribbon clamps that I had on hand and a lobster claw thing for a closure.

Calypso St. Barth DIY Bracelet | HelloGlow.coFirst, wrap the ribbon around your wrist the number of times your plan to wear it to measure the length. (Add a bit more for a cushion.)
Then cut the ribbon into two equal lengths. Cut the chain to the same length. Attach together with a rubber band or a ribbon clamp. Then anchor and start braiding! Soooo easy!

An up close of what I used for the closure.

Calypso St. Barth DIY Bracelet | HelloGlow.coI love it as a wrapped bracelet but makes a great necklace. I braided this version more loosely.

    I made them yesterday! I love them! Ran out of chain before I could make the navy one, but made a light pink and cream one already!

    Great post want to make with different colors of hemp twine and add a couple of sea shells and a vial of my mother’s ashes what do you think should I just braid through the hole in shell or use a loop piece to attatch?
