Stylish Safety Pin Bracelets

I have seen several safety pin bracelets on blog land

and have wanted to make one ever since I saw them :)

So I finally bought the necessary items 

and made some.

Items needed:

1" safety pins

glass beads

clear stretch cord

scissors

decorative beads (optional)
pliers

Measure your wrist 

and figure out the length you need for the stretch cord.

You will want to cut two strands of cord 

and cut extra so that you have enough for tying a knot.

Also, you don't want the bracelet to be too tight because the pins might snap open

so try and make your bracelet slightly loose but not too loose :)

Place the beads onto the safety pins.
Use pliers to squeeze the safety pin shut so that the pin doesn't pop open.

I originally planned on using 2" safety pins,

but soon realized the beads did not fit on them.

If you are using decorative beads you will want to add them to your pins.

Once you have enough safety pins done

begin putting them on the strands of stretch cord

and alternate your pins like this picture shows.

Tie a knot (I knotted my strands 3 times) once you're done.

Pull tightly!

And you're done :)

I made two other bracelets

and with these I added bigger beads in between the safety pins.

Have a wonderful day, lovelies!
