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!

Coming later today...and every Tuesday!...Pinterest made me do it!I

I am sure you all have a project you have done because...Pinterest made you do it... Now, you can see how my things turn out. Sometimes I am nervous to do things on Pinterest because, well frankly, I'm not sure if it will turn out correctly. And I HATE messing up a project and not getting things right.

SO, on Tuesdays, I will make a project from one of my pinterest boards. If it's a recipe, you'll get all the details on how it tastes; if it's project, you'll get all the info on what I did, what I changed, how I improvised and how it turned out. We'll try this Pinterest adventure together! Feel free to follow my boards here. If you have something you think I should try feel free to post a link in the comments and if we're already friends on fb or pinterest, through an @ sign before my name to tag me in the comments of your pin!

Don't hesitate to ask questions about what I'm doing, how it goes and anything else that pops into your mind.

As the pinterest team likes to say....

Happy Pinning!
