Making organza ribbon bracelets is not only fun and easy, it can be hard to stop making them after you have made a few. You can complete them quickly, they are inexpensive to create, and there are so many different options for embellishments. You could even make one to go with each outfit you own. Make some extras and give them away as gifts. You might even be able to find some old charms that you haven't been using and add them to a pretty organza ribbon bracelet. See what fun it is to make an organza ribbon bracelet.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1/4 yard organza ribbon (1.5 inches wide)
  • Tape measure
  • Scissors
  • Charms
  • Clear Nail Polish
  • Two three-inch lengths of beading wire (26 gauge)
  • Wire clippers
  • S hook
  1. Step 1

    Measure your wrist to determine the length that the ribbon should be. Then add three inches to this measurement.

  2. Step 2

    Trim the length of the ribbon to the measurement from step 1.

  3. Step 3

    Place the charm onto the organza ribbon and slide it to the center of the ribbon.

  4. Step 4

    Tie an overhand knot on each side of the charm to hold it in place in the center of the ribbon.

  5. Step 5

    Add more charms in the same fashion on either side of the first charm, if desired.

  6. Step 6

    Apply clear nail polish to the ribbon ends to prevent fraying.

  7. Step 7

    Make a one-inch loop on one end of the ribbon and wrap one length of beading wire tightly around the loop several times to secure the loop. Cover the trimmed edge of the ribbon completely with the wire. Repeat on the other end of the ribbon.

  8. Step 8

    Attach one loop of the S hook into each ribbon loop to complete your organza ribbon bracelet.
