Today, needlework is increasingly gaining popularity. Things made with your own hands are not only beautiful and exclusive, but also affordable. At first glance, it seems that making a bracelet with your own hands is very difficult. The main thing is to have the desire to create something original.

Surely many of you have accessories lying idle: either a beautiful brooch or a favorite earring, the other half of which was once lost. They are completely inapplicable, and to throw away dear things of the heart the hand does not rise. But we can give them a second life. For example, make a bracelet in the macramé technique, weaving an earring or brooch into the base.
