DIY Yummy Charm Bracelet
Happy Thanksgiving!

In keeping with the day’s theme, we have a fun, food-inspired DIY for you to try out.

The vegetable charm accessories from the spring 2012 Dolce & Gabbana show have been haunting our memories (in a good way) ever since first seeing them back in September. Food and jewelry… it’s our two favorite things coming together! Read on to find out how we recreated the look using some unconventional materials.

YOU’LL NEED:
- assortment of food-shaped erasers (can be found online or at speciality stationary & book stores)
- 6.5” segment of bracelet chain
- lobster clasp
- jump rings
- headpins
- pliers
- wire cutters
HOW TO:

With a headpin, poke through the bottom of the eraser and pull it all the way through out the top. Using your pliers, curl the wire around to form a loop.

Twist the end of the wire around the base of the loop 2-3 times and snip off the access wire. Tighten your coils to make sure the pin is secure. The finished charm should look like the apple above.

Repeat these wiring steps with all of your erasers.

Fruit charms ready to be turned into a bracelet!

Use a jump ring to connect each charm to the bracelet chain.

Attach your lobster clasp on one end of the bracelet and a chain of several jumprings to the other for size options.

Done! Your Dolce & Gabanna inspired bracelet is finished.

BONUS: Use the same headpin wraping technique to make yourself a pair of earrings!
