DIY Male Jewelry on Making Cool Guy Bracelet with String
Summary: A project to dislay a trendy cool string bracelet for guys. The brief instructions are for your quick proficiency and easy understanding.
Before the specific tutorial on making a cool guy bracelet, I'd like to talk about two popular types of men's favorite bracelets: 1st, the wire-wrapped or metal-adorned bracelets in retro and wild styles; 2nd, the paracord bracelets, also known as survival bracelets, which is very in military style and demonstrates the manhood of males. In order to combine these two types together, I whipped up this tutorial on how to make cool guy bracelet with string and metal cross pendant.
Materials and tools for making cool guy bracelet:
2mm nylon cord in gradient colors
1mm black nylon cord
Metal cross pendant
2mm aluminum wire
Jump ring
Wire cutter
Pliers
Scissors
Lighter
Steps for making cool guy bracleet:
Step 1: Wire wrap cross pendant
Wrap aluminum wire on to the holeless end of cross pendant; make nice loop with pliers and cut the excess wire before tucking sharp ends inside.
Step 2: Apply paracord knots to guy bracelet
1st, make lark's head knot over the wire loop you made in last step;
2nd, weave paracord knots throughout the axis cord;
3rd, stop when the length is okay for a bracelet;
4th, add a jump ring to other end of pendant, thread axis cord through it and make a few of another paracord knots there;
5th, cut excessive axis cords and melt ends with lighter;
Step 3: End up this cool buy bracelet
