DIY Neon Plaited Bracelet

This is a variation on an original Teahab tutorial I made, which is one of my most popular tutorials to date (it’s currently big in Japan…) I wanted to spruce it up a bit as it’s well over a year since I first posted the project. It’s pretty spectacular how much my personal blogging style has changed, and how much I wish I’d known back then! It just makes me think If can come this far in a year, imagine the next one… Ok, getting carried away here. Tutorial instructions below.

Note- You need 6 ribbon ends for each bracelet.

Instructions.

1. Cut a 1 inch thick, metre long strips of neon fabric, fold in half and sew along the length.
2. Turn inside out to hide the stitching (there’s no need to iron) and cut into three equal pieces.
3. Attach a ribbon end to one end of your fabric.
4. Do the same for the other two strips.
5. Using a jump ring attach all three strips to one end of the charm bracelet.
6. Take the strip furthest from the chain, weave it over the second strip and then under the first.
7. Take the strip through the fourth link in the chain, going from underneath through to the top.
8. Repeat steps 6 & 7 threading the next strip through the fifth link.
9. Keep repeating steps 6 & 7, moving down the chain as you go.
10. Stop once you’ve reached the fourth link before the end of the chain.
11. Trim the strips just slightly shorter than the end of the chain and attach three more ribbon ends.
12. Plait the three strips together a couple more times to keep them neat and attach to the end of the chain using a jump ring.

Repeat these steps to create the other bracelet.

They’re so bright, I love them! Which ones do you prefer?
