Inspired by bohemian chic, this charm bracelet is a little concentrate of sunshine and good humor. It combines an iridescent elastic ribbon, a gold screw-on clasp and a bevy of carefully chosen sunshine charms: a small lacquered red heart, a gold palm tassel, faceted blue capri beads and a protective mother-of-pearl eye. Each element brings its own symbolism, giving the jewelry a style that's at once delicate, playful and full of positive energy.
The result? A feel-good, ultra-luminous jewel that catches the light and instantly adds a touch of whimsy to any outfit. Wear on its own for a streamlined look, or stack with other bracelets for a gypsy-chic effect.
Another highlight of this tutorial is the simplicity with which it can be made. No complicated clasps. The secret lies in a simple overhand knot and the flexibility of the ribbon, which makes it easy to adjust the bracelet to fit even the thinnest of wrists. When it comes to materials, we keep things accessible and customizable: a decorative elastic band, a few open rings, an oval screw-on clasp, a few head nails and your favorite beads and charms are all you need.
You're free to vary the colors, tassels and charms to create a design that suits you. Why not opt for a more colorful, flashy version for a more vibrant look?
In just 15 minutes, you can go from idea to finished piece. It's the perfect DIY for an express workshop with friends, a creative activity with the kids or a relaxing break just for you. Suitable for all levels, this bracelet is also a lovely idea for a handmade gift, unique, trendy and full of good vibes.

Cut two pieces of ribbon to fit your wrist, making sure they are the same length.
Fold each ribbon lengthwise, then mark the folds with an iron. Then add the screw clasp by threading one end of each ribbon through it.
Tie the two ends of the elastic together with a small, tight knot.
Try on the bracelet and adjust the position of the knot so that it's centered and comfortable.
Open a ring and thread in a round-headed nail. Slide on the beads and charms of your choice to create a bracelet that reflects your personality. Here, I've opted for an eye bead and a palm tree pendant.
Further personalize your creation by adding tassels, charms or other accessories as desired.
Attach the rings with the beads (and any charms) to the screw clasp.
To secure your knot, lightly burn the ends with a lighter. Be careful not to get the flame too close, as this could burn the ribbon.
Why not try a red version? It's up to you to create the bracelet that suits you!
