Mon Ami Shamballah Bracelets
The deal was for $29 but they were originally around $80 each. I have seen leather bracelets around every where and of course there are quite a few blog posts on how to make them.

However, I couldn’t find anywhere how to make these with the braiding in between until I found this post about macramé. So I trotted off to Michael’s to pick up some beads and cording and went to work. I did mine with 4 braids (1 to the right, 1 to the left, 1 to the right, 1 to the left) the way the picture shows it would actually only be 2 of the entire steps. Then would add a bead. I also, only used 3 strands because my bead wouldn’t fit over 2 strands. It worked out perfectly.
What do you think? I am loving them and love the fact that all of these together cost me less than $20.

ReplyDeleteOh cool! I really like those! I've been wondering how to make those and than after looking at the macrame post, I realized I've made those before with hemp. Duh! Thanks, I'm going to go find me some leather and some great beads and have some fun. :)
