DIY Wish Bracelet

Last weekend I helped throw my best friend an adorable “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” baby shower in Denver, so I obviously couldn’t hold my DIY self back from making something.

 


I love the thought of wish bracelets and after finding the pendants on Etsy, I was immediately sold in making these to give each of the women who came to the baby shower. They’re really simple to make and you can get as customizable as you’d like with the card, which designing was my favorite part. You can also make them for bridal showers, as a gift, or even a cute way of asking your best friends to be in your wedding.

The thought behind the bracelet is that you make a wish, and once the bracelet falls off, your wish will come true. I added a poem with the instructions, along with a thank you at the bottom for coming to the shower (side note: how cute is my bestie’s baby’s name?!). And in case you missed it, this is what I wore.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Custom 3.5 x 5 cards – I designed mine in Photoshop and then uploaded them to Zazzle
  • Star pendents – I got mine of Etsy here
  • Jewelry Cording
  • Scissors
  • Tape

 

 

 

 

First, cut your cord the length you’d like it to be. I cut mine about 8-inches long so people had the ability to wear it as tight or loose as they’d like. Put your charm on the cord.

 

 

Cut 1-inch slits on each side of your paper, where you’d like the bracelet to sit. Wrap the bracelet around the paper. To keep the bracelet from moving, bunch the back together and tape it to stay in place.

 

 

And you’re done! Simple, right?
