Hi Friends!
I enjoy going to hardware stores by myself. I don’t like following my husband around the hardware store searching for a particular type of nail or light bulb. I like to walk slowly through the isles and look at my creative options. I have been really into making jewelery out of rope lately. A little while back I made a necklace out of rope that I wear at least once a week. I have been wanting to make a bracelet out of rope and add interesting hardware as the fastener. I like these projects for a few reasons. I like mixing different materials together, I get a bracelet out of the end result, but most of all a rope bracelet is stronger than my sterling silver one. My toddler can literally try to rip this off my wrist without breaking the bracelet.
Rope Bracelet…from a hardware store
Materials Used
- Nylon rope
- Quick Link Fastener
- Embroidery thread
- Hot-glue Gun and glue sticks
I spray-painted one of the fasteners gold. Silver or Gold… a girl has to have options.
I measured the rope 2x’s the desired length that I wanted. With my hot-glue gun I attached the ends of the rope together.
I folded the rope in half. Then, I attached the ends to the opposite side of the rope with my glue-gun.
The rope will resemble a bow.
I picked out a pretty deep purple embroidery thread to add to this bracelet.
In the center of the rope bow, I wrapped the thread very tightly around the rope.
I continued to wrap until I was satisfied with the look of the purple. Then, with a tiny drop of hot glue, I secured the end of the purple thread to the bracelet. I love when I can actually complete a project in one sitting. Don’t you?
I hope that you enjoyed this project as much as I did. Next time you are in the hardware store look around and take inventory of the cool supplies and tools that could be used in your next project. You might find yourself saving money compared to similar items you would purchase at a craft store.
I hope that you have a good and creative rest of the week!

This is really cute and something my girls would love making. Thanks for posting. Pinned.
Thank you so much Erlene.
That’s so pretty and fun. Seriously for the DIY lover. Thanks for linking up this week at Thursday STYLE!
Thank you so much Amanda!
This is really cute and looks fairly simple to make – I think my granddaughters would love to do one…
Thanks Cathy!
This is super! I LOVE that shade of purple and the gold link!
Thanks Heather!
I love this! So cute and so easy, plus it’s perfect for summer! Thanks for sharing! I’m pinning this to remember.

Thanks so much Kristy.
Great idea! I totally agree about the hardware store. We also have a “farm” store that is awesome to wander alone. I get all kinds of crazy ideas there. Thanks for linking up at Thursday STYLE.
This is lovely! I too like the hardware store- solo. Hubby distracts me too much
I would be honored to have you hop over and share with us at Tell Me About It Tuesday! (http://www.sweetsillysara.com/2014/04/tell-me-about-it-tuesday_28.html)
Hey Carmody! Cute project – I pinned it the first time I saw it. Today I am stopping by from #tribedare to show you some love and to let you know that I was tickled pink when I got a comment from you on my blog a while back. It meant a lot – thanks.
I am Stacy and I blog at anygirlcandoit.com where I show women (girls of all ages) how to diy, craft, organize and decorate on a budget. I want to empower women to do these things on their own and know that it doesn’t have to be perfect for them to love it.

Thank you so much Stacy!
I love how simple but beautiful this bracelet is! And I love that you found all the goods in a hardware store
Thank you Amy!
Loving this! It’s got a super fun nautical vibe!
No joke…On my next trip to Lowes (which will hopefully be today -fingers crossed-) I’m buying the stuff to make this for myself! I love it!! It looks so simple but at the same time cute and stylish
Yeah Christal!
Okay…so I’m definitely gonna consider making one of these this weekend. What a cool idea!
Go for it Dionne!
