The golden elastic ribbon bracelet with a seashell medal is an easy-to-make, trendy piece of jewelry. We see it a lot in summer, but it can also be worn all year round as a reminder of vacations. This kind of bracelet appeals because it's both easy to create and fun to wear. The golden elastic ribbon adds a nice shine and fits well on the wrist, while the seashell-shaped medallion gives it a seaside feel, reminiscent of the beach and warm sand.
This DIY jewel is one of the most popular creations among hobbyists. It doesn't require a lot of materials and can be made quickly, even if you're new to jewelry-making. It's also a great idea for a creative workshop or personalized gift. Elastic ribbon comes in a range of colors, but gold is a popular choice for its timeless chic. As for the shell, it can be in gilded metal, mother-of-pearl or even resin, depending on the style you want to give the jewel.
This bracelet is easy to wear on a daily basis, alone or with other bracelets for a fashionable accumulation effect. You can also personalize it by adding other small charms, beads or pendants. That's the charm of do-it-yourself jewelry: you can really create something that suits you.
Making a bracelet with elastic ribbon and a shell medal is a simple way to indulge yourself while keeping up with current trends. It's a handmade piece of jewelry that won't go unnoticed, and makes you want to keep on creating. This type of tutorial is often sought after by those who like easy-to-make jewelry and want to learn how to create with their hands.
Cut a piece of ribbon the size of your wrist + 12 cm minimum.
Open the ring with two clips and slide it over the ribbon. Before closing, add the shell charm.
We're going to form a small charm with a pearly bead. Thread it onto a ball-head nail. Bend the nail at 90° just after the bead. Recut the shank 8 mm from the hole.
Using the round pliers, form a loop by catching the end of the nail and wrapping it around the pliers.
Add the charm to the oval ring.
Tie the two pieces of elastic together. Try to make a small knot. Test the bracelet and adjust the position of the knot.
Once you're happy with the bracelet, melt the cut edge of the elastic to prevent it from fraying. Bring the flame of the lighter very close to the edge to prevent the ribbon from catching fire or burning too quickly and turning black. If you don't want to use this technique, you can use vinyl glue on the edge instead.
