DIY Friday: Embellished Friendship Bracelets

Yesterday I stumbled upon the Stylish Wanderer's Bedroom Tour on Teen Vogue. First of all, I had no idea she was so young (she's 16) - I feel like she's blogging forever! And secondly, I fell in love with all of her quirky jewelry. Here are my favorite shots below:

When I saw the studded friendship bracelets I instantly need to know more. Turns out they're My Little Fisheye spike friendship bracelets from Lo & Chlo. They're so cute and the spikes add a little edge and interest to the usually campy friendship bracelet.

It got me thinking about friendship bracelets and how fun they are to DIY.  I can remember spending countless hours as a kid with embroidery thread safety-pinned to my jeans creating fun bracelets.

Honestly...WTF has some awesome DIY friendship bracelets up their site. Check out the photos here and then head on over to their site for more detailed step-by-step instructions. They've done a seriously fantastic job with three different DIY friendship bracelets: one with rhinestones, one with spikes, and one with chain. I can't wait to try it for myself! I think I'll start with the rhinestone beauty.

Whoa, great idea. Thanks for posting this, I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

I do like the rhinestones a lot, but the half chain-half thread one is SO AMAZING.

It's so symmetrical in a non-symmetrical way if that makes sense. Seriously really cool. Do you think it'd be really hard to do??
