Braided Hex Nut Bracelet

I am in love with this bracelet I just made. It would look great layered with other bracelets, but it's chunky enough to wear on it's own.


All it takes is a little bit of patience, hex nuts, and some twine. It cost me about $3 to make it, while similar bracelets cost $250! SUCKERS! :)
The only difference between the two is that I used twine instead of leather, and I tied the ends together instead of using a hook. It is so easy to make once you get a hang of it. Check out Erica's blog, Honestly WTF to get the tutorial.

I'm obsessed now. I think my next step will be to upgrade and try this as a necklace..







I'll post pictures of my version when I finish, I just need a couple more quarters to buy the hex nuts!
