Safety Pin Bracelet

So this was my plan....didn't really work out, but I got some things done!

 I didn't get out of my p.j's all weekend!! That's the life! So...I check a few blogs religiously every day... it's not stalkerish, I just heart them all...and Alisa Burke's is one!! I looked ALL over her blog for this idea she came up with, but I couldn't find it...I think it might have been a guest post on someone elses blog that she had done. Anyways...I have never in my life seen someone as creative as her, she's an amazing painter and she can create anything out of nothing! 


I'm going to follow her design and make this - 

What you will need:

Missing is the Mod Podge...

Make sure you get clear stretch cord -- I didn't get the stretch the first time around, so annoying! I hate it when I get the wrong things...it happens a lot!

The first step - cut your fabric 

You will then take your toothpick and start to roll the fabric and then glue at the end.

Don't mind the blurry pictures - thanks to my sister Julie for all her help (not!)

Once you have it all glued, Mod Podge the whole thing. You don't need a super thick coat, just enough to get the outside of the fabric. You will then place it on the pin and close it. 

Repeat for about 30 more of these...

Once again...thanks Julie for the blurry pictures -- I actually think I took this one, but it's ok to blame others!

Next you take your stretch string and string through the top and the bottom of the pins.

Don't mind the mess in the background please, thanks!

Tie the end and ...perfect bracelet!! I got so many compliments on this!!

Also, don't mind the man hands!! Gross! 

Heart you all!!!
