charming bracelet tutorial & giveaway!

Yay! The weekend is finally here! Yesterday, Cheers Cristalia celebrated one month of being public by
creating fun accessories. Today, I hope you are as excited as I am because I am sharing a tutorial
with you and giving away some really fun stuff to a lucky winner!!!

What I love the most about this tutorial is that it's affordable, looks really chic and you can find all the
materials at an arts and crafts shop.

I hope this inspires you to make your own fancy bracelets for yourself and your friends!
Read my step-by-step guide on how to create this charming bracelet and at the end you'll find the giveaway details. 


You'll need:
  * Charm
  * Chinese knotting cord - 1 yard
  * Chain - 14 hoops (7 for each side)
  * Spacer Beads - 2 pieces
  * Scissors
  * Fabric glue


Start by cutting the Chinese Knotting yard in half.
Make a knot in the charm by folding the cord in half and inserting the ends through the
charm. Repeat this step with the other half of the cord.



Count 7 hoops on the chain and use it to weave the cord.


Always insert each side of the cord in theopposite direction. Tie a knot and repeat this step on the
other end of the other side.



Take a cord end from each side and insert it through the spacer bead. Follow this step with the 
leftover cords bead.



Finally, tie knots on the four ends and cut using a scissor. To hold the knot in place, apply a small
amount of fabric glue to each end.





Fancy, huh!  =)
