Happy Thurs-DIY!  Just a few of the awesome things I saw this week!  

Ok, one of them is mine, but I think it's pretty fun.  Hop around and make some friends.  

I absolutely love Pla's whale dresser and who doesn't love origami paper?

Rhinestone Boho Cuffs DIY

A few weeks ago I was getting my sparkle fix on the Beadaholique website and found beautiful cup chain in a ton of different colors...... I was immediately inspired to order some up and make these glamorous Rhinestone Boho Cuffs. I have a feeling Wonder Woman would love these for a night on the town! My favorite thing about this project is the mix of colors and textures. I used extra bits of chain, cabochons and small jewelry pieces to get this high end look. Enjoy!

The perfect way to spice up a simple dress!

I think they look amazing on Danielle!

Jewelry pieces

Flat back rhinestones

Cup chain

Chain

Flat metal cuff

Tape

Toothpicks

Check out www.Beadaholique.com for all of your jewelry making needs! 

(I got amazing cup chain cut by the foot and cabochons from them for this project.)

Glue on cabochons and jewelry pieces with E-6000 

Tape them in place while they dry so they don't shift

Measure and cut cup chain to wrap around a cabochon

Using a toothpick, add glue around the cabochon and add the cup chain

Continue circling the cabochon with different colors of cup chain to create your design

Add small pieces of chain and flat back rhinestones to break up the cup chain pattern

Cover the entire metal cuff with stones for the full effect

Let everything dry for at least 3 hours
