DIY plumbing supplies bracelets

I did a little DIY for the december issue of MOOD magazine which has already came out. My obsession over wearing many rings at once is definitely over, guess braceletes are my new love.
I got the idea when I was in Copenhagen for fashion week and saw Hanneli wearing similar bracelets by Danish designer Yvonne Koné. I thought they would make a good and cheap DIY project;)
You just need some brass fittings and compression nuts from the plumbing section and a old leather belt for making this one.

  28. @Lara Maria: I used some old belts

    @Anonymous: Ma nüüd ei tea, mis su küsimus on, aga oletan... Ma ei olegi väitnud, et disainisin need ise. DIY projektide mõte on (vähemalt minu jaoks) alati olnud, et kuidas tehale omale kerge vaevaga ja peaaegu olematute kulutustega mõni designer item - antud juhul siis need 1300 krooni maksavd käevõrud. Muidugi oleks olnud kena lisada viide disainerile, kuid unustasin selle suures tuhinas. Vabandust segaduse pärast! Lisasin selle nüüd;)

  31. The must have accessory for your fashionable plumber. If you could reach students on plumbing courses you could stand to make a killing. Especially with the increase of female students of late...

  32. i know it's a little late, but how did you close this bracelet? with the old belt lock or with something else??

    ReplyDelete

  33. I never thought that plumbing supplies can be used as a styling products for everyone. The bracelet was so cool and unique. You may also use some old plumbing supplies and just put some designs and arts to make it looks new and fabulous.
