I presented some braided bracelets before, here’s another cute braided bracelet :)
I like best the idea to simply braid in everything that matches.
And if you still have material over you can easily make matching tassel earrings or mini bracelets as rings or pendants or even whole necklaces.
I must go and see what lays around here somewhere…

What a nice idea: simply take beautiful yarns from your stash and braid bracelets from them!
One or two little charms can add a little something :)

Somebody wanted to know recently in the German blog how to braid a square bracelet.
I found out, that you can use all three techniques (braiding, Kumihimo, fingerloop):
Picture left: Braid: 8-strand square braid
Picture center: Kumihimo: Kumihimo tutorial – square braid – firkantfletting
Picture right: fingerloop: Tutorial: START HERE! 5-loop braids

Recently I saw a woman in the underground wearing a bracelet that I liked.
It looked quite easy and after trying it I noticed that it is ;-)
That’s what you do:
Knot seven threads together and fix somewhere.
String beads on the middle thread and part the other six threads in two strands.
Note: I used some cotton crochet thread for the test because I didn’t have no beads to be strung on heavier yarn.
Braid the three strands just like you’d do with your hair.
Make sure that the threads of the strands made of several threads lay neatly side by side.
As for the middle thread let lay a bead between the other strands at every braid.
Braid until you reached the desired length for a bracelet or a necklace and add a matching closure at both ends (links to closures see below).
The bracelet I’ve seen was made of hemp or the like, but I think that it would look great with fine leather strings, too.
As well I guess that one could use different sized beads and of course you can omit the beads.

I’ve already presented the braided zipper bracelet, but zipper bracelets look also nice unbraided, don’t they? :)

I really find that this necklace doesn’t look like ‘self-made’!
By the way not long ago I presented an entry about braiding a square cord, there I showed that you can use different techniques (braiding, Kumihimo, fingerloop).
