Pinterest Made me do it: Fabric Bracelet

I have so much scrap fabric, this was a great destash project!

Below you will see, my supplies and my ipad. The screen shows that I had already gone to the pin link. This was on my "sewing 101" board on my Pinterest page.

The pin is for fabric bracelets made by braiding. I saw a friend wearing a bunch of them a week ago and I really wanted one of my own. This was a great opportunity to try it! The pin leads to a tutorial for 12 different versions, one includes using a button or bead to anchor it with, which is why the buttons are out. But I didn't end up using that pattern. I picked out some fabric I like and went from there.

Step 1 was pretty simple, lay out and measure your fabric into the strips needed. I only needed 2 strips for the pattern I picked, so away I went!


 Step 2, for which I apologize that I do not have a picture, was to braid the two strands together. But, I think my project turned out quite nicely. (So well in fact, that my daughter stole my bracelet to wear to school!)


Sorry for the terrible picture, but I promise I will get better and the bracelet was quite lovely and soft! I assure you it is a super cute bracelet and the pin was a lot of fun to make!

Happy pinning!

Simple Solution Sunday: Frequent Shopper Cards

I don't know about you, but I have a TON of frequent shopper cards; Babie-R-us, grocery store, walgreens, CVS, you name it, I probably have it. And they either make my wallet really thick and heavy or they simply junk up the inside of my purse. Either way, it's really annoying!

So, here's my simple solution for you....I put them all on a key ring!

They fit neatly on the ring and they are easy to find. Best part? I don't have to weigh down the key in the ignition of my car with them and if I want to, I can hand the entire thing to my husband when I send him somewhere.



Obviously, this was a bit simple of a simple solution, but for me it was one of those things that I probably should have thought of and never did.

Hope you have a great week!
