A Bracelet with Macramé Cord and a Piece of Jewellery Chain

A piece of macramé cord and a jewellery chain have been tied onto a silicone bracelet with a built-in fastener.
1. For the silicone bracelet you will need three pieces of macramé cord, each measuring 130cm and a piece of jewellery chain of approx. 27 or 28 chain sections. Arrange the macramé cord 3-fold and place it underneath the silicone bracelet. Now feed one end of the 3-fold cord up through the first chain section and over the silicone bracelet.
2. The cords from underneath should now be placed over the cords on top, then underneath the bracelet and up through the next chain section.
3. From the chain section, feed the cords over the bracelet. Continue this pattern until the end of the bracelet is reached.
4. NB! Try to get the three macramé cords to lie flat next to each other whilst plaiting. This gives the best result.
5. Finish the bracelet by tying two tight knots. Tie a knot at both ends of the 3-fold macramé cord and melt the ends.
Make Your Own Iphone Case
It's no secret that we adore taking lots of pictures with our iPhones. We adore getting new cases; they are the perfect little (functional) accessory. We decided it was high time we created some of our own.
1. Supplies: Clear iPhone cases, pretty papers, paint, fabrics, found papers, scissors and paint brushes. 2. If you plan on making your case with papers first create a template that fits your case; including the where the camera goes so you don't cover it. 3. Use your template to cut out a pretty paper, lay this inside your clear case before popping your phone in. 4. Use your template to cut out a cute fabric, lay this inside your clear case before popping your phone in. 5. Use paint chips to create a collage for your case. 6. Paint the inside of your case—you can leave some areas blank so your phone shows through. 7. Create a geometric design out of found papers; such as magazines or pictures. 8. Have fun customizing your case to your style—or gift one to a friend!
What we love about filling the inside of the case with a pretty paper or fabric is you can change out your design as often as you like. You could match your iPhone case to your mood. Or outfit.
