Learn today how fun and easy it is to make this fishtail braided cuff, using hand-dyed silk ribbon. With special guest, Candie Cooper, watch this video tutorial as Tory and Candie walk you through how to make this bracelet cuff.
While this beadable cuff is usually used for bead-stitching projects, as seen in our Delica Trend, we’ve utilized the open middle space to create a criss-cross braid. Plus, we love the ombré coloration in these ribbons and they are the perfect stringing material to create these braids.
Components You’ll Need
- Beadable Cuff Bracelet (Z001859/Z001860)
- Hand-Dyed Silk Ribbon
Video Tutorial
Candie Cooper was able to grace us with her special appearance in this video to assist Tory as she gives a step-by-step tutorial on how to braid hand-dyed ribbon on a beadable cuff.
Other stringing materials you can use to braid are fairy ribbon, 1mm – 2mm leather cord and deerskin leather because they are pliable. Create with us today!
How do you finish off the deerskin and other leathers?
Make a knot just like the silk ribbon. Make a knot and add a dab of glue before making your second knot.
Thank you for sharing! You must of been reading my mind I was just thinking of doing something like this last night. 🙂 but, wasn’t quite sure where to start. You answered my questions in the video!
Tory, you did a great job of showing us to create a new piece of jewelry. Thanks.
This was a fad when I was younger, except we would braid ribbon on metal barettes. Then we would leave ribbon hanging off the end and put beads on it. Anyone else remember that?
DJ, Yes! I made the barrettes like that in all colors! 😊
