DIY: Friendship Bracelets with Rhinestones

Recently while reading Refinery 29, it struck me that in their list of 9 Editor's Must Haves for NYFW, one of the items was incredibly accessible. It was also the one that Taylor Tomasi Hill listed and she's basically one of my favorite editors so it was probably meant to be. Now the item is:

Friendship bracelets with rhinestones! The bracelets, by Frieda and Nellie, are described as handwoven with vintage rhinestones but I figured who will really be able to tell if the rhinestones are vintage? So get thee to a craft store! I went to Michael's and picked up some embroidery floss, a crystal chain (you can also use an old necklace from Claire's with rhinestones), some clasps, and if you're feeling adventurous, some interesting beads.

And then, if you've never made friendship bracelets, head over to a site that teaches you how to make them and get started! After you've woven a full bracelet just twist the crystal chain or the necklace around your bracelet and attach it to the ends. Ta-daa! 

I'm in the process of making mine and I'll update this post later today or tomorrow with pictures of it once I'm done!

Thanks to Refinery29 for the image!
