How to Make a DIY Denim Bracelet With a Cute Flower Design
DIY jewelry is fun to make, fun to wear, and fun to give! Follow along with me to make a DIY denim bracelet out of some old jeans. It’s really simple and the bracelet is so cute you will want to make one for yourself and a friend.
Tools and materials:
- Old pair of jeans
- Scrap lace
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Sewing needle and thread
- Decorative beads
1. Make the bracelet wristband
Cut out the front section of your jeans' waistband. Make the piece you cut just a bit larger than your wrist circumference, with the button in the middle.
With the right side facing out, fold the wristband piece in half widthwise and hand-sew the short open end. Don’t worry about the stitches showing, because they will be covered by the time you are done.
2. Make a flower
Trace and cut a 12-centimeter (4.7-inch) diameter circle from your leftover denim.
Draw a spiral shape on your circle, starting at the edge and working into the middle.
Cut along the spiral line.
Use a sewing needle and thread to hand-stitch a basting line along the inside edge of the spiral, gathering the denim as you go.
Roll up the denim into a flower shape, with the right side of the denim facing in.
Hand-sew through the bottom of the flower to keep it closed.
Sew or glue some decorative beads into the center of the flower.
Cut a piece of decorative lace a bit longer than your unfurled denim spiral.
Hand-sew a basting stitch and gather along one long edge, just as you did with the denim spiral. If the lace is scalloped on one side, be sure to baste on the straight edge.
Join the ends of the lace flower and glue to attach them together.
3. Assemble the denim bracelet
Lay the denim flower on top of the lace flower and place them in the center of the wristband.
Sew or glue the lace flower to the wristband, and the denim flower to the lace flower.
Glue decorative beads onto the wristband.
