DIY Bracelets that Make Cute Friendship Bracelets

1. Wrap Bracelets

|

Best stacked on your wrist in multiple colors, this eye-catching style offers a simple but colorful way to inject more personality into even the plainest outfit.

2. DIY Bracelet with Beads

|

These are easy DIY bracelet ideas that you can make at home and give away to your friends. Pile them on your arm and pair it with different textures such as metal and silk for contrast. If you want to give this DIY a try, you can find the full tutorial here.

3. Heart Bracelet

|

In the spirit of DIY friendship bracelets, nothing says you’re true BFFs more than by taking the time to weave cute patterns on your friendship bracelets. One of the most popular friendship bracelet patterns is the heart bracelet, which you can view here for the complete DIY.

4. Braided Cuffs

|

Take a simple braided pattern and insert beads through the threads as you go along the length of your bracelet. This gives your braided bracelet a pretty little sparkle, best worn stacked with other cute friendship bracelets you’ve collected from your BFFs.

5. Knot Bracelets

|

Who knew those random camping knots will come in handy one day for fashion purposes? Start by choosing preferred colors that you want for this project (Tip: keep it all in the same color family, but in different shades) and experiment with different knot techniques.

6. Fishtail Braids DIY Bracelets

|

These fishtail braids are great for making delicate friendship bracelets stacked with chunkier pieces. If you’re making one, be sure to choose threads in colors that pop.

7. Chain Bracelets

|

This is a great addition to any stack — one or two chain bracelets add a little shine to your arm party. You can wear these chain bracelets with your favorite party outfit and no one will even suspect they aren’t pricey designer bracelets!

8. DIY Bracelets with Hex Nuts

|

Speaking of metal, mixing a few metallic pieces here and there with some texture, from leather or fabric, can add an edgy twist to your stack. Wear this with your staple casual minimalist outfits such as blue jeans and a basic shirt to give it a more rock-and-roll feel.

9. DIY Wrap Bracelet

Pile on your personality on your wrist! Make a statement by wearing your aspirations, dreams, and everything that you stand for as handmade jewelry. Whether it’s to remind you of your dream or to symbolize your goals, stylish wrap bracelets are a welcome addition to arm parties as a way of personalizing your look.

10. Sassy DIY Bracelets

|

Following previous DIYs of mixing metals and fabrics, this project using a gold chain and cross-stitch thread is a quick way to create a pretty fashion statement. It’s definitely an upgrade from your typical cute friendship bracelets.

11. DIY Rope Bracelets

|

These styles of handmade jewelry tend to be thicker and bigger, so it’s best worn by itself instead of stacked with other bracelets. These cuffed styles are great as accent pieces, particularly for casual outfits that need a little pizazz.

12. DIY Leather Bracelet

|

Leather cuffs are edgy and cool — which is why they continue to stand the test of time. To make your own DIY leather bracelet, braid leather strands together to create a simple cuff.

You can also recreate a regular chain link by cutting leather and sewing it together. Lastly, add additional metal accents, such as beads, to update the look.

13. Stone Bracelet

|

Sometimes, the only inspiration you need will come from nature itself. For this DIY bracelet, take a precious stone as a centerpiece and attach it to a silver or gold chain to create a statement piece.

You can lengthen the chain to create a wrap bracelet or even a necklace.

14. Cord Bracelet

|

Cord bracelets infuse simple knot techniques and the durability of the material to create a lasting accessory. Make your own by tying an infinity knot and securing ends with clasps.

15. Delicate DIY Friendship Bracelets

|

Whether worn by itself for a simple and understated look or stacked with chunkier metal styles and woven friendship bracelets, delicate bracelets are a covetable addition to any collection.

To make your own delicate bracelet, stack your choice of stones or beads through an eye pin. Secure each end with jump rings and attach a chain on each end.

16. Brass and Rope Bracelet

|

The supplies to use for this bracelet are available at your local hardware store. The rope is available in different colors, so you can create different designs depending on who you’re giving it to.
