Hey guys!! One of my favorite symbols is the infinity sign. "Infinity" can symbolize many different things to different people. Some people use it to symbolize their infinite love for someone, and others use it to symbolize their infinite faith in God. I wear this bracelet to represent the fact that I will always be myself. But anyway... I've seen a few Infinity bracelets around, but I wasn't going to pay for it when I could make my own! But then, I ran into a problem. Where waas I going to find an infinity sign? It was when I was taking my daily stroll through the Hobby Lobby clearence section that it came to me! I found a metal chain with a bunch of, what looked like, infinity signs. And this brings us to the tutorial.
All you need is either the chain shown above (sold at Hobby Lobby) or the link of your choice and some craft thread.
Step 1: Take the chain and unhook the jump rings that connect all of the infinity signs. [Hint: To unhook a jump ring, do not pull APART. push one end of the ring FORWARD, and to close it just push it back. see 2nd photo.]
Step 2: Cut three strands of craft thread about 12 inches long. Tie them together at one end and braid them together. Tie a knot at the other end.
Step 3: Thread the braided craft thread through the infinity sign like shown in the 7th photo.
Step 4: Slide it on your wrist and tie!
By the way.. disreguard the 5th photo!! This DIY cost me LESS THAN 10 CENTS! The Chain was $1.43 and there were about 15 links on the chain, so when you do the math and then add in the free craft thread I already had on hand.. it comes out to cost almost nothing!!!
