DIY: Chain Garter

 

Forget about bracelets this summer, this season it's all about LEGS!
This DIY took me about 15 minutes to make, all you need are some chains, tweezers, elastic band and some small rings. As you can see in the middle picture I attached the chains to a simple black elastic band which I sew together as the garter. Can't wait to rock these with my ripped denim shorts.
What do you think? Would you guys wear this too? :)

Unohtakaa rannekorut tänä kesänä, tällä kaudella kaikki huomio on JALOISSA!
Tämä 15-minuutin DIY on todella helppo tehdä, tarvitsette vain pihdit, kuminauhaa, ketjuja ja pieniä renkaita. Kuten keskimmäisestä kuvasta näkee, kiinnitin ketjut kuminauhaan jonka ompelin sukkanauhaksi. Ne tulevat näyttämään niin hyviltä ruskettuneen ihon ja leikattujen farkkushortsien kanssa! Mitäs pidätte? Käyttäisittekö tekin tällaisia hullutuksia? :)

Neon Yellow DIY Crochet Necklace

Please ignore my tired face, i've been wearing only lipstick today!

This DIY is so easy and fast to do, even if you're not very familiar with crochet! 

The two things you need are a thick crochet hook and this jersey fabric thread. At least in Finland you can find them in all fabric stores, they cut their leftover fabrics and make thick thread out of it. Great way to use spare pieces of fabric!

 Make the starting knot by making a loop. Leave a 10cm piece of thread for the closure at the end.
















 

 Pull through the thread .

 Then slide it on the crochet hook.

This is the basic position of thread and hands.
Once you've got this, you do great! The thread on the thumb should be the longer thread.

With the hook, bring through the left side thread through the first hoop on your crochet hook.

Continue bringing the thread through and pulling it, then back to the basic position. You will see a thread chain growing.

When you've got the length you wanted, it's time to make the second layer of chains. This you do by going through the hoops you've just created.

Put the hook through the first hoop, and pull trhough the thread.

Continue through all the hoops, then repeat for a third layer if you like a wider necklace.   

 Done! Leave another 10cm of thread at the end so you can use them to tie a bow for closure in the back.
