Stacking Bracelets

Stacking bracelets is a trend Ive been loving for a while now but buying all those cute bracelets was a little over my students budget ( trendy bracelets here can cost up to 12 bucks) so I was kindasad for that but then I found a nice place called Kalia that sells materials so you can do your own bracelets, I was really excited, I love crafts and being able to make my own jewelry is just awesome.  I started searching some "do it yourself" (DIY) videos on youtube and found some really nice and easy ones. I'll see if I can link them on this blog post.

Here are some of the bracelets Ive been working on:
Stackable, Gold, Pink and Mint Bracelet



For these bracelets I used Hemp Cord in neutral colours and some Czech glass in different colours. I really like them the pink and mint ones are fresh and very Spring like and the golden one is pretty shiny.    If you guys are interested in making these here's the video I watched to be able to make these:




These are the cross bracelets I did, they're pretty much self explanatory. The gold one basically has a faux suede black string with the golden metal attachments on the end and the silver one has an elastic nylon string.

Here are my gold chain bracelets, the first one is pretty simple I just cut the chain to the desired length and added the golden attachments on the end.The second one is a mixture of a cobra bracelet and a gold link chain, which I haven't finished yet, I'll add the same gold attachments on that one too. You can see the DIY video if you want.

I also have another proyect that I havent really started just yet, im going to try to make a necklace I saw on forever 21 the other day 
forever21 Dove Charm Necklace

Gold Leaf
So I already have the leaf, I still need the little dove which I havent found yet and the little pearl thingy is going to be fairly easy to find I guess. So thats it, thats all Ive done for now, if you liked it comment below or if you have any nice tutorials of your own link your blog or youtube video ;)

My First Post!

So I'm starting this new blog because I've been inspired by other bloggers and youtubers like essiebutton and thatsheart. I want to share my expirience whilst I learn about different things that are beauty related, I do have another spanish blog chicaclasica.blogspot.com in which I speak about beauty but I was never fond of the name and I dont know, I didnt feel like I was in my comfort zone. I feel like I'm going to like this one better though, its more, my style. I must say that I am no beauty guru, I'm a med student living in Dominican Republic who was able to learn like six months ago how to correctly apply eyeshadow. Yeah I know it sounds truly sad but Ive come a long way since that :) I'm also sure that there are plenty of girls out there in the same situation I was so its prolly going to be interesting to see what i blog here ;)
