Who needs a nametag when you could have a super cool bracelet instead? Use letter beads and wood beads to create this simple bracelet. If you’re in the giving spirit, make a matching bracelet to gift to a friend or loved one!

Wood_Bead_Friendship_Bracelet_1.jpg

Wood_Bead_Friendship_Bracelet_2.jpg

Paint enough beads to spell the name you’d like on the bracelet. Let dry.

Wood_Bead_Friendship_Bracelet_5.jpg

While the beads are drying, cut a 12 inch long piece of string. (Better too long than too short– you can trim later!)

Wood_Bead_Friendship_Bracelet_4.jpg

Once the beads are dry, use a permanent marker to spell out the name.

Wood_Bead_Friendship_Bracelet_7.jpg

String your letter beads onto the cord. Keep adding beads to either side until the bracelet fits around your wrist.

Wood_Bead_Friendship_Bracelet_8.jpg

Securely tie the two ends of cord together. You don’t want too much slack in the bracelet after it’s tied, but don’t pull too hard since it’s elastic cording.

Trim the tails down to an inch or two in length, then tuck the ends in the beads to hide them.

Stay warm in the winter months with this darling loom knit headband you can make yourself!

Loom_Knit_Headband_1.jpg

Gather your materials. Make sure you choose a loom size that easily slides over your head.

Loom_Knit_Headband_4.jpg

Reference your Round Loom Knitting Set Quick Start Guide to learn how to cast on!

Loom_Knit_Headband_3.jpg

Start knitting, and stop when you reach double the desired thickness for your headband. (You’re going to fold it in half!)

Loom_Knit_Headband_5.jpg

When you’re ready to bind off, reference the instructions in your Loom Knitting Set Quick Start Guide.

Loom_Knit_Headband_6.jpg

Double knot your end firmly, being careful not to pull on the tail which would cause your work to cinch.

Loom_Knit_Headband_7.jpg

Fold your work in half, lining up the edges. It may want to curl back, but that’s okay!

Loom_Knit_Headband_8.jpg

Cut a length of yarn that’s 3 or 4 times the circumference of your loom. Attach to your needle, and begin sewing the two ends of your headband together.

Loom_Knit_Headband_9.jpg

Once finished, tie a knot and weave in your tail. Adjust the headband so the seam is on the inside.

LoomKnitScrunchy_3.jpg

Start knitting, and stop when you reach double the desired width of your scrunchie.

LoomKnitScrunchy_4.jpg

When you’re ready to bind off, reference the instructions in your Loom Knitting Set Quick Start Guide. Tie a knot, being careful not to pull and cinch the edge of your scrunchie.

LoomKnitScrunchy_6.jpg

Cut a strip of elastic about the circumference of your wrist. If your elastic is super stretchy, cut your strip a bit shorter. Form a circle with the elastic and tie a double knot.

The elastic circle should fit snugly around your wrist.

LoomKnitScrunchy_7.jpg

Now you’re ready to assemble your scrunchie. Take your knitted scrunchie tube and turn it inside out. Place your elastic circle around the middle of the scrunchie tube.

LoomKnitScrunchy_9.jpg

Measure and cut a piece of yarn about 3 times the circumference of your loom. We will be using this to sew the scrunchie closed. Thread it through your yarn needle.

LoomKnitScrunchy_11.jpg

Fold your scrunchie tube in half so that the ends are lined up. Sew the ends closed and hide your loose yarn ends by threading your yarn through the scrunchie.

Loom_Knit_Hat_3.jpg

To change colors while knitting, tie a magic knot and trim the tails.

Loom_Knit_Hat_5.jpg

Loom_Knit_Hat_6.jpg

Pull the tail all the way to cinch the hat closed at the top.

There’s nothing better than easy quick-sew DIY projects. I had been searching for the perfect pair of fingerless gloves, but when I couldn’t find a style I liked, I decided to make my own! These turned out to be super easy and fun to make. I loved being able to customize the gloves just to my liking.

Lay your socks down flat, so that they mirror each other. The heels of the socks should face inward and the toes pointed up.Tip: When selecting your socks, make sure your hands and wrists easily fit into your socks. This will ensure that your gloves won’t be too tight.
