DIY Grosgrain Wrap Bracelet

Lately I’ve been missing my crafty.  I was in a slump and having a hard time balancing work, techy blogging stuff and crafty blogging stuff.

Good news!

I got my crafty back!  Yeah!

{Please sing that last line to the tune of JT’s Sexy Back.}

I was wandering Michael’s the other day, looking for my crafty {I mean where other place would it be?} and for some reason I found myself looking through the jewelry aisles.  I’ve been loving statement, gold accessories lately and the combination of mint and gold, thanks to my fashionista sister-in-law.

I had already wandered my favorite section of Michael’s, the ribbon aisle, and had grabbed some gorgeous mint green grosgrain ribbon.  I spotted some wide link gold chain and knew I had found a match made in crafty heaven.

I attached a lobster clasp to one end and knotted the ribbon onto the chain.  I thread the other end of the ribbon through a wide eye needle and wove the ribbon through half of the chain skipping every other link.  I did the same thing with the other half and tied the ends into a perfect little minty bow.  Using a lighter I sealed the edges of the ribbon to prevent fraying.

I love how the bracelet pairs with my favorite set of bangles.  It is making me lust for spring.
