DIY Wrapped Sash Bracelet

Open up the 1/4 yard of fabric and measure it lengthwise. Each strip should be one inch.

Mark your measurements so you can get a straight cut.

Cut the fabric carefully. Use sharp scissors for better accuracy.

Here's what the strip of fabric should look like when you're done.

Add beads by twisting the fabric and pushing it through.

I kept adding beads and knotted them underneath where I wanted the bead to be placed. When I realized I didn't like the look I decided to braid the fabric.

If you decide to braid the fabric like me, measure out two more one-inch thick strips.

For an olive green and black bracelet, I cut two strips of green and one in black.

I tied the ring onto the fabrics so I had something to hold while braiding the fabrics.

Next I began braiding the fabric.

As I braided, I was careful to keep it tightly woven.

When I finished braiding. I knotted the end, but didn't pull it too tight. I shimmied smaller rings down the braid for decoration.

As you can see, the rings add a touch of embellishment.

After I added the rings, I untied the end and re-tied a larger jewelry ring on the bracelet. I looped it through the other ring to create a clasp.

It came out like a camouflage print.

Next up, I used three colors: olive green, turquoise and black.

I lined them all up before tying them together through a jewelry ring.

I put all three fabric strips through the jewelry ring evenly.

I started with a clean knot and ring to hold for braiding.

I braided the fabric and slipped on a bead about three inches from the jewelry ring. I knotted the bead on with two strips.

Whenever I added a bead, I tied off the braid with the other two strips. I alternated which color I placed a bead on every time I added one. I tied the strip with the bead on it to one of the other strips and alternated those as well.

I tried to space the beads out evenly. Once you tie on a bead, try to braid with the same tightness in order to keep the colors even all down the bracelet.

Once I finished the braiding, I tied off the end with a jewelry ring and trimmed the excess fabric.

Next, I pushed the fabric through one of the jewelry rings to create a circle.

Now the bracelet is ready to wrap!

I love how the colors mix together.

Finally, I wrapped both bracelets on my wrist.
