Hello friends!

Today's post is dedicated to our blog's contributor Mikalina. This talented girl has shared with us some of the most creative posts about DIY accessories. Now she opens her wings into a field that she knows really well, the handmade little treasures as she calls them. Her collection of bracelets, earrings and necklaces is inspired mainly by the Bohemian style enriched with an ethnic touch. All the accessories are handmade and each piece is unique. The materials are innovative and some of them are handmade (braided bracelets). For more information you can send her a private email to her Facebook page. Please visit and Like her page.

Spread the glue on the half surface of the CD and start turning and folding around the thread. Continue with another color the same process.

Once you have finished with the threads add some glue on the edges of the CD in order to glue the leather parts.

Start braiding your scrap fabric stripes to make the “chain”. I made two in each side to make it more impressive.

When you have finished the braiding add some glue on the back side of the CD and cover the edges with some more leather pieces. Use the scissors and press it to glue faster.

Tie together with some fabric the braids and create two ribbons as clasp. You can make it as long as you like. The final result is big and loud kinda ethnic and colorful!
