These particular gifts I made for my friend Michelle. Her birthday falls shortly after Christmas so I made her the three different bracelets.
They were all easy and I used three different tutorials to make them. The first bracelet on the left is a knock off Chan Luu bracelet. I didn't actually follow this tutorial but it's a good one. There are a couple loops on the end so you can choose which size works best.

I love the amber beads with the tan leather.
I used a vintage button from my Grandma to make the clasp.
The middle is a combination of metal washers from the hardware store and satin ribbon.
This bracelet involves threading the ribbon through the washers in a really simple way. I love the combination of the soft ribbon and the hard washers. Since the washers really do come from the hardware store they're inexpensive to make.
The tutorial I followed is for a necklace but I think the amount of washers is a bit much so I made a smaller version, great instructions though.
Lastly I made a twine and hex nut bracelet.
Again, the nuts are from the hardware store. This bracelet requires some braiding and threading and that's it. Easy. And this tutorial worked really well. I used another vintage button to finish off the back of this one.
So there you have it, three easy and unique bracelets that made a great gift.
