Make a pair of unique handmade bracelets in 30 minutes or less with Bling on a Roll.
Do you like to make unique handmade jewelry? There is nothing like receiving a compliment on something you made!
Recently, I was given some Bling on a Roll for a sponsored post. I created a tutorial on how to Bling your Jeans.
We made some boring clearance jeans into fun stylish jeans for my daughter. They quickly became her favorite. In fact, it is hard to get them off of her to wash them!
The Darice Bling on a Roll is such a fun product that I had to create another awesome project! This time, it's for me!

Supplies You'll Need to Create this Project:

Braided Bracelet Tutorial:
Measure the circumference of your wrist.
Cut 2 lengths of ribbon and a length of bling, 2 - 3 inches longer than the circumference of your wrist.
Layer the Bling on top of the 2 pieces of ribbon.
Clamp the 3 layers together at one end.
Braid the 3 strands making sure the sparkly side of the bling is always facing up.
When it is desired length trim the end and secure the end with another clamp.
Attach the lobster claw to one clamp with a jump ring and attach a jump ring to the other clamp and your bracelet is done!
Layered Bracelet Tutorial:
Measure the circumference of your wrist.
Cut a 1 length of ribbon and 1 length of bling, 1 inch longer than the circumference of your wrist.
Layer a double strand of bling on top of the strand of ribbon.
Secure both ends with a clasp.
As you can see in the middle picture, the ribbon doesn't really want to stay behind the bling so I secured it using glue dots, but you could also use many other types of adhesives as well. (I don't know how long the glue dots will hold but I have worn it a couple of times, and it is still holding strong.)
Attach a jump ring and clasp to one clamp and a jump ring to the other clasp.
Now have a pair of cute bling bracelets!
