As you all have probably seen ~ these woven bracelets are all the rage right now.
Hello, my name is Kellie & I’m a sucker for trendy things.
I really am. Gosh, darn it.
There’s tutorials out there like crazy, so I wont even try to subjected you, to one from me.
However, this post is about a “golden” tip & of course, my favorite Spring colors.
Tangerine tango, pink, mint with a hint of aqua. = deliciousness!
You know in Joanne’s where they have every trim imaginable?
they have gold chain for $19.99 a yard.
I bought a 1/2 yard = $9.99
but after using my 50% coupon it was = $4.99 for a 1/2 yard (are you still with me?)
(***a 1/2 yard will make 2 bracelets***)
I also bought 2 gold chain hook key rings that were $2.99 for 2.
also, 5 embroidery thread colors for .29 cents each.
So I made myself one sassy big link gold chain-chain-chain woven bracelet for
$5.75.
Are you jealy? Don’t be – use this tutorial & you can make yourself one too!
(I did weave mine through a few more times than she did in her tutorial. My chain is bigger than her bracelet. But note the difference in price. 
Now hurry up with your sassy self & make one too!
It’s a perfect thing to do while watching TV! And you can’t beat it for $5.75!

THANK YOU!
you are totally sassy and I LOVE it! Great colors, too! (oo, and I love the nail polish color on you, too)
Oh my goodness. I love love love this. You so beat me to making this. I’ve been dying for some of that huge gold chain to weave something into. The colors are perfect. I’m sharing this on my twitter and FB!
So stinkin’ cute! I might have to attempt to make something like this! Sassy, for sure!
I have the same bracelet tutorial pinned for when I get around to making it! I love the colors you used. So cute Kellie!
Love this! and I love the colors you picked out. I might just have to give this one a whirl. Thanks!
It’s adorable! I have doubts about my weaving skills though. I’m not sure it’s as easy as it sounds.
Very, very cute!!

I LOVE this bracelet!!!!! So cute!!!!!! Would be a cute necklace too! LOVE IT! Thanks for the idea!
I love your bracelet! It’s going on my list of gifts to make. I have a few girlies that are hard to buy/make for, but I think they’ll love this. Thanks for linking to the tutorial.
Dang that’s crafty! I’m definitely going to invest in this. I have a small silver chain bracelet I never wear – guess who’s upcycling it now? *this gal!*
Thanks I love this and may have to give it a try.
Love it! I did one last year based on that tutorial but I must do another now that I know Joanne’s has that big chain by the yard! Here’s my bracelet: http://xoxotrina.com/2011/08/diy-designer-inspired-bracelet/
Ooooo I love those colors Kellie! Amazing as always my friend!
Ha – I love how you described the process. I think any directions that include terms like ‘sort of’ or ‘thingy’ or the like are just for me. and i’m happy to see i can buy the chain at joann!

Sorry for the deleted comment. Flubby fingers today.
Anyhoo – it’s official: you are my accessory hero!
Whoa you made this?! Too awesome, I want to make one now!
What a brilliant idea … I must make it … I’m on my to JoAnn’s … like I don’t have supplies for a million other projects!
Was the “chain” made from plastic? I found some plastic chain material at Joann’s but there wasn’t any metal. Really cute idea.
