Make//Wear .02 - Satin Scarf Bow Ties DIY

{image: Lily Jane Collins}

This is a DIY I have had in my inspiration folder for months, and finally got around to making a few. Its a fun and inexpensive way to add some color punches (take note: avoiding the word color pop) to your wardrobe. I bought a 1/4 yard of two different satin color fabrics. SEW OR NO SEW. The full instructions are in the graphic above and you can download full instructions here.

You can wear these two ways. The first version is demonstrated above, and the second is demonstrated in the inspiration photo above. I love both versions and would change it up depending on the occasion.

Hope you enjoy this, and as always, if you attempt it, please share your photos! Would love to see:)

Make // Wear .01: DIY Gemstone Bracelets

Now before we get into all the Valentine's Day fun, I wanted to share an easy rainy day bling project to fight away the winter boredom:) Since this is the week to introduce new series, I am going to start labeling my DIY accessories the Make // Wear projects...

Supplies:

Chain (long enough to wrap around your wrist 1-2 x.) - MJTrim or Etsy are great online sources for  cable chain.

Gemstone beads - 1 inch wide. You can find these at any craft store. I found mine at an antique market.

Lobster Clasp

Jump Rings - 10 mm should be fine.

Wire - use the same color of your chain and make sure it is thick wire.

Pliers

Instructions:

1. Measure your chain and divide into two equal lengths. If you are doing a double wrap around divide where it would hit behind your wrist. You can divide chain with a pliers or metal snips.

2. Measure out your wire and loop one end tightly around the end of the chain with your pliers. Place your bead through the wire and tightly cut and wind the other end around the second chain strand.

3. Add your lobster clasp and jump ring using your pliers to bring both chain ends together.

Pretty simple if you have the right supplies. I have a whole set of colors I am dreaming of making. Birthday gift for the year:) If you would like a similar necklace, you can check out the DIY cable necklace set  and apply accordingly.
