  • How to make a metal cuff. Diy Home Depot Bracelet - Step 1
    Step 1

    Last time I roamed the aisles at Home Depot I picked up this metal thingy. I’m sure there’s a technical term for it. (Just checked with my dad – it’s a hose clamp!)

    Its unique industrialness appealed to me. For $1.30, why not? (I also could not resist the 80 cent small version as a ring.)

    The best part – it’s adjustable! You just turn the little screw to make it as small as you need for your wrist.

    To add a bit of color, I weaved in some 1/4 inch ribbon. But I also like it plain.

The paint chips you pilfered ;) I've seen people make cards for friends from them. The bigger ones you could always cut out different shapes and sizes and then put them onto a card for some dimension.
