Homemade semi-antique jewelry is very popular today. But you can make such a little thing with your own hands if you delve into the remains of jewelry and a sewing box.
In any home, lace trimmings, various buttons, beads, clasps from jewelry, ribbons and other "wealth" are likely to be found. Many throw away such things, but it is from them that you can make an original decoration. Here is a small example - an antique bracelet, very feminine and delicate, for the manufacture of which you do not need to buy a lot of expensive materials. Moreover, when making such a bracelet, it is far from necessary to strictly follow the instructions. Rather, on the contrary, it is better to fantasize a little more so that you get an absolutely unique thing.
To make such a bracelet, you will need a piece of lace (about 12-17 cm), preferably not too narrow, but, ideally, not nylon, but hand-woven from cotton threads, a pendant from an old necklace, a clasp from an old necklace, chain or bracelet. The clasp and pendant can be purchased at a craft store. Choose a pendant that has rings on opposite sides.
The process of making a lace bracelet is simple: we pass the lace through the pendant, like we string a watch on a leather strap. To prevent the pendant from moving, you can drop Moment-Crystal glue on the back of the pendant and press the lace. We sew a fastener (mini-carabiner) onto the ends of the lace, or carefully hem the edge of the lace, and then thread the rings over the edge to fasten the fastener. The bracelet is ready.
Such a lace bracelet can be supplemented with a chain, which must be attached to the clasp by straightening the last links of the chain.
Helpful advice: in this way you can also make a short necklace (velvet).
