DIY Skull Bracelet

  I posted this picture of some skull charms on my Instagram (IvoFBlackout) a couple of days ago. I was wondering what to do with them and blah, blah, blah. I finally got around to doing a cute mint bracelet that I can't stop wearing. Really, it's easy to make and I should know since I suck at arts & crafts. Just need some fish line and your beads of choice. I'm all into the whole arm full of bracelets, but man I can't keep up with the prices. I make my own from now on, hurray! Mint colors, of course. Anyway, hope you guys are doing coolio. OH! As for where I got the charms? There's a little store in San Juan that sells them. I forgot the name, but it's near the place where the Hard Rock Cafe was. Also, they do sell them online and on Etsy.

D.I.Y Tribal Necklace

 While on a day out with my mam and bf I stumbled upon a pretty necklace that was around $20. What I noticed right away was how easy it was to do it yourself. I always have D.I.Y's in my mind but I never get around to doing them, so I made it my goal to make this one. Here is what you need:
  • Bobby Pins (as many as you wish)
  • Spray Paint (whichever color you desire)
  • Black Thread (length of your choosing)
  1.  First you're going to take the bobby pins and spray paint them. 
  2. Leave them out to dry for about 5 to 10 min before giving them a second coat. I suggest you seal them after.
  3. Take the thread and cut it to your preferable length
  4. Find the middle of the thread and start placing the bobby pins in an open fan position.
  5. Place as many bobby pins as you like.
  6. You're done and ready to wear!
  The beauty of this DIY is that you can add or take out as many bobby pins as you choose. I'm going to be adding more so it can look even more striking. I decided to add some beads at the end but thats your choice. I think it looks cool and it doesn't cost much to make it. Less than $20 I assure you. So have fun with your creation! Hope you liked this simple and fun DIY.
