DIY Metal Washer Bracelet

These metal washer bracelets are a great teen craft! Might sell well at craft sale fundraisers?

I adapted this from the Metal Washer + Ribbon necklace tutorial. Fold-over elastic makes it easy to take these bracelets on and off. Younger kids can make these, too. Just make sure there's a responsible adult around to  melt the ends of the elastic.

DIY Frame & Hemp Memory Board Update

Hi! Just wanted to add an update to the DIY Frame & Hemp Photo/Memory Board tutorial.  I made a few to sell at the annual Rush City's Bountiful Boutiques.

In the original tutorial, the hemp is pretty widely spaced. Try making tighter diagonals and zig-zagging at different angles. I think the smaller spacing will add a lot to the piece!

The skies are dark and brooding. Not exactly the best lighting for craft photography! I'll be back with another tutorial as soon as the clouds clear. Waiting for the sun ...
