DIY PROJECT: Braided bracelet







Materials:
All are from chinatown. I think Artfriend sells them too.

I’ve been busy with handicrafts for the past week. I got fed up with the hunt for the precise accessories that I craved, therefore, I started making accessories of my own. For this particular piece, I used 3 strands of medium hemp cords, each length is about two coils around my wrist plus an additional 5 inch. I tied a simple knot to begin the bangle with one strand being in a loop. It’s basically just doing hair braiding. I did a set of braiding first, followed with two beads on each side, The center strand will not have beads at all. Just repeat the steps and I ended it off with a square knot. I’m no guru in diy accessories so I hope my pictures are clear enough. Those that are unclear of the steps for square knots, go google it. (: that’s all folks!!

Outfit:
Maxi dress; Bangkok
Feather necklace used at headband; Japan
Braided headband; Ta zhiang
Sandals; Bugis
Bag: Bugis
Bracelet; gift


Hype this look at chictopia and lookbook.nu

I was feeling lazy to dress up, therefore, I decided to go for maxi dress, and all I’ve to do is the bag and shoes matching and ta dah, I’m good to go. Since this dress has some bohemian feel to it, I decided to go for a bohemian styled hair, what would that mean? Obviously feathers! Here, I mixed two hairbands together, the braid head band along with the feathers.  What do you think? Good quirky or bad quirky?
