Surely every girl and woman has at home, in the depths of women's boxes, where there is everything, and a little something else, a few old bracelets. You know, the kind that have long since become boring, worn out or out of fashion. All women, young and old, love to buy all sorts of things in jewelry departments: pendants, headbands, earrings, rings and, of course, bracelets. In general, everything that glitters and shimmers beautifully in the light of store windows evokes an irresistible desire in all representatives of the fair sex to spend money. Among such things, bracelets occupy a place of honor; they are one of the most favorite accessories among women.
The bracelet itself is a wonderful detail that can complement any look. Be it a festive event, when you just need to look your best. Or, an ordinary day, filled with everyday activities. All girls and women every day need to look neat, attractive and unusual. Have some interesting nuance in your external image that sets off your mood and emphasizes your individuality.It would seem, what is so special about something that is worn on the wrist and does not carry a special functional load? But no, a bracelet is always beautiful and feminine.
This season, massive accessories are especially popular; they attract attention and create contrast with other things. For example, a wide vintage bracelet will go perfectly with textile ballet shoes from the same category. Where to start, how to turn a long-worn market bracelet, which has already begun to smell of bad taste, into a nice handmade item? You will need little: yarn of different colors that you want to take (floss threads, nylon threads, suede or leather threads, burlap rope, braid, etc. are also suitable), a little tape and an old wide bracelet (in this case, a bracelet 3 cm wide is taken. ).

To prevent the thread from moving to the sides and sliding across the surface of the bracelet, its end must be attached with a small piece of tape.

Then everything is simple: you need to take the thread of the first color and carefully, so that each next skein fits tightly to the previous one, wrap the bracelet. Use your fingers to hold the threads so that they lie close to each other, covering the surface of the old bracelet without gaps.

Alternate colors as desired (in this case, three muted colors were taken: beige, olive, lilac). You can use floss threads to achieve a smooth transition of shades. Or a burlap rope to make a rough bracelet in a fashionable casual style (that is, for any everyday look)

The ends of the yarn can be connected to each other with a regular knot, and to prevent it from coming undone, use colorless nail polish (a drop of varnish will prevent the ends of the threads from untying). You can also easily make one massive one from several thin bracelets. To do this, you can take braid and 3-5 old, worn out thin bracelets.

Through simple manipulations, once old bracelets are transformed into a handmade accessory. You just need to braid them with braid, thus connecting everything together into one (from four thin bracelets I got one massive one 3 cm wide.)
