Not all that glitters is gold

DIY Bracelet Made From Hardware Supplies

by Jamie Frevele | 1:16 pm, March 9th, 2011


Someone had the idea to braid hex nuts and turn it into a bracelet. There’s nothing that isn’t really cool about that, including the fact that it kind of looks like either a spine or a zipper. Whichever you think it looks like, it’s a very cool thing to turn into jewelry for those of us who aren’t into daintier pieces. Diamonds? Psssht. Nut up or shut up.

Click through for a sample of the how-to, to show just how easy it is.

From Honestly … WTF, it’s really as simple as braiding while beading. So gather up those hex nuts you’ve had lying around and get a-weaving!

And in the end, you will have a wicked, homemade bauble!

For Honestly… WTF’s more detailed explanation, go here.

    If you know what you’re looking for, shopping for gold bracelets can be a lot of fun. This may not be true, however, if you are shopping for a birthday present.
