DIY: Neon ‘N Rhinestone Wrap Bracelet
Last week I had drinks with my girls from Giogo TV and fell in love with a wrap bracelet Ms. Tiana Brown was sporting. It was neon, blingy and totally inspired me. There are so many great bracelet DIYs out there. My friend Jenni from I Spy DIY is always coming out with a new fancy bracelet DIY. I usually stay away from them because my nails are real long and sometimes that makes tying a knot tricky, buuuuut I was in desperate need of some new neon accessories. I happen to already have ALL the materials in my craft closet so there were no excuses! This project may look a little complicado, but seriously it’s so easy. In about 20 minutes I had 4 new neon wrap bracelets.
Materials: Neon Rope, Cupchain Rhinestones
Cut a piece of rope (we’ll call it rope A) to about 12 inches in length. The length of this piece of rope can be adjusted depending on the size of your wrist.
Cut another piece of rope (we’ll call it rope B) to about 36 inches in length.
Use rope B to tie a knot and secure rope A and the rhinestone chain in place. Be sure to leave a loop in rope A for a closure
Take robe B and wrap it around the robe A.
Be sure that rope B is being wrapped between the spaces in the rhinestone chain.
When you get to the end of the chain tie all pieces of rope into a knot.
You’ll slide the knot thru the loop when wearing it. Pair your wrap bracelets with other bracelets to complete the look!
loveeee it

Where do you buy your rhinestones?

I bought my chain at a store in LA, but there are tons of places to purchase online. Google Rhinestone Cupchain. Ive never ordered from here, but they look like they have a nice selection and you can purchase by the foot –> http://www.shipwreckbeads.com/catalog/Findings-and-Components/Preciosa-Rhinestones/Rhinestone-Banding-Chain-and-Trim/Rhinestone-Cup-Chain/
GOOD LUCK! xo

I have done similar bracelets with leather, but I like your neon rope idea – very cool! Thanks for a great post

This is awesome! I’ve been looking for the perfect neon bracelet to make.
I’ve been having trouble finding those cup chain rhinestones, though. Anyone have an idea of where to get them besides Michaels?

These look awesome. I can’t wait to make some of these in different colors as christmas presents! Just to make sure i’m clear you are literally wrapping rope B around the chain not knotting it.
I just want to make sure I have the steps correct I know I sound a little dumb since they are such uncomplicated steps haha
