DIY- Ankle Chain

Yay I'm back with an all new "Do it Myself Monday". I've been planning to do this one for months now, but with the holidays it got pushed back due to wanting to give you holiday DIY's :)

I've done a few tutorials on how to embellish your shoes and the great part about this one is you don't actually have to alter anything on your shoe. This idea is great if you have a special event or evening out or simply just want to jazz up your look. 

Items used:

Large & medium chain

Michael's $2.99 each (use your 40% off coupons!)

Jump rings & Lobster clasps

Michael's - $2.99 each

Bead Gallery embellished chains

Michael's $5.99 with an extra 40% off

Finished look!

DIY- Great Gatsby Inspired Bracelet

Sorry this one is late too! I had so much fun making the headband I simply had to add another accessory to the collection.
Once again all the items I found at either the craft store, or my own craft supply.

For the base I found this "ribbon strand" at Michael's on clearance for $1.99. It's perfect because it already had the findings on each end. Now if you don't find one of these you can easily use wide ribbon, or flat or gathered lace and simply add the findings at the end yourself. The little clamps are super easy to apply.

You will need a toggle clasp or clasp of your choice.

Next I just used some of the rhinestones I had in my collection. These are from the bridal department at Michael's.

I had this pendant lying around in my supplies and I simply bent off the ring. If you want to make your bracelet longer simply use any type of chain you like.

Use some of your trusty E6000 glue and jewelry pliers

And that's it! Check out my Youtube Tutorial to see how I did it, and if you try this take a pic and post it on my facebook!
