When we were little girls my sister and I fully enjoyed taking trips to Home Depot with our dad.
We always managed to negotiate one soda pop, two straws, played hide and seek in the garden center and discovered ways to make jewelry out of the nuts, bolts, door hooks and anything else our tiny hands could reach in those orange bins.
Years later, I still attempt to make jewelry every time I'm in the store so naturally I was stoked to find this braided bracelet DIY complete with brass hex nuts. Full instructions here.
Home Depot, here I come!

Ooh funny you should post this! This year I've been working on a range of braided jewellery, mainly bracelets using things like bolts, and lots more. Don't they look great :D Such an easy way to make your own jewellery, that's simple, but chic.
This is perfect! I've been wanting a statement bracelet for a trip I have coming up and this my dear is it! On my to do list for the weekend! Thanks for the amazing idea!
