We are shooting on a spectacular location.

But we are not here about the view, I'm gonna
show you how to make this beautiful bracelet!

Let's get started with the first bracelet.

You will need 6 pieces of string about 40
centimeters or 15 inches long.

You'll also need some beads -- here I will
use screw nuts.

To begin with this DIY we need to align all
six strings next to each other.

Then create a loop and pull one end of strings
through it.

Finally, pull both ends firmly to create a
regular knot.

We now need to secure the strings with a tape
on a table or other surface and start braiding

This part will later allow us to tie the bracelet
around a wrist.

Now it is time to add some nuts which will
work as the beads for our bracelet.

So just add one nut at a time whilst you are
braiding like so.

Friendship bracelets with nuts are very popular
right now.

I've seen them in many stores such as H&M
and Accessorize so I decided to make my own

for much cheaper than actually buying them.

I think this bracelet is very cool and the
best thing is that you probably have all the

You can most definitely find some screw nuts
at your father's garage, workshop or storage

There are normally plenty of those lying around
the house.

Even if you buy screw nuts, they will for
sure be much cheaper than beads bought in

For the string, I am using a Chinese knotting
cord, but you can use any type of string you

like -- silk, nylon, leather you name it.

I designed my bracelet to be very colorful
and fun, but you can chose any color of string

you like, and you can also use bigger or smaller
nuts.

When your bracelet is long enough and fits
your wrist perfectly just braid a normal braid

as we did at the beginning of this video.

Make a final knot and cut away the excess
string.

If you want to have a neater ending to the
bracelet you can also use some clasps.

In this DIY, I wanted to show you the most
simple and cheapest alternative.

You can tailor your bracelet completely to
your liking and this is why making bracelets

I think it is super cute and perfect for the
summer because of the bright colors.

Now let's go on to the second bracelet which
we will also make by using screw nuts, but

the technique is somehow different and we
will now be using a ribbon instead of a string.

Again mine are around 40 centimeters or 15
inches long.

Align the 3 ribbons and make a knot but leave
about 10 centimeters or 4 inches above the

Then braid just a small part like so to get
you started.

Before you add the first nut, here is a little
tip.

Cut the end of the ribbon in a diagonal shape.

This will make it way easier to pull the ribbon
through the hole especially if nuts are small

Now start adding the nuts as you braid along
the bracelet.

Even though the basic technique is similar
to the first bracelet they look very different

This ribbon bracelet is thicker and looks
much more elegant because of the silky texture

Therefore it would go perfectly with an elegant
dress for prom or another formal occasion,

while the first bracelet goes great with any
kind of casual outfit.

After the last nut I am again braiding a small
part without beads just to make a smoother

Then make a knot and we are almost finished.

Cut two remaining parts of ribbon on each
side so that you are left with just one piece

To tie the bracelet around your wrist simply
make a cute bow like this.

I think this bracelet is so girly and elegant
and I love how it turned out.
