DIY denim bracelets with buttons
1. Prep the DIY jean hem
You first want to make sure your hem sits comfortably around your wrist and is a little loose fitting.
Check your hem and ensure there’s not a lot of excess fabric on the edge.
You want it to be as close to this finished seam as possible. So, cut off the excess if needed.
2. Sew on the buttons
Now, all you have to do is stitch your buttons all the way around your hem.
Once you have all your colorful buttons stitched on, all you need to do is loop it twice around your wrist. Your fantastic bracelet is complete!
