Usually, trends always pass me by, but a new one caught my attention last week. It is about a bra strap to make a bracelet. Then the girlfriend gives it to her boyfriend, and he is pleased about it. I have not found out whether that means a declaration of love or another sign. Maybe I'm just too old for it.

A bracelet like this is really super quick to make. Here's how it works:

1. You need a bra of your choice.

2. Cut the loop in the back where the strap is attached to the ring.

3. Make sure the strap is adjustable so you can easily put it on and take it off. In my case, I left 5cm as a margin.

4. Then measure away from the ring the length you need plus 2cm as an allowance for sewing it together. In my friend's case, I measured a circumference of 18cm, making it 20cm total. This can be used as a guideline if you want it to be a surprise.

5. Then, you thread the end of the strap through the ring, fold in 2cm and sew it together. Either by hand or with the machine.

6. Ready is the bra strap bracelet

2 variations to spice up the bra bracelet

Since the bra is now cut up, you could also still make one for yourself. For this I have thought of two more variants as the bra bracelets can spice up.

Variant 1: Bra bracelet with bow

In this variant, you can use the bra even further. Because most bras are still sewn loops that you can use for the bracelet. I find the idea mega sweet. Here's how it works:

1. Make the bra strap exactly as described above.

2. Put on the bracelet and mark where you want to sew the bow with a pin or pen.

3. Take the bracelet off again and sew on the bow by hand or with a machine.

4. Done!

Variant 2: Bra bracelet with decorative rings

This is my absolute favorite variation. For this, you need the bra strap and 7 rings. Here's how it works:

1. The bra strap must be slightly longer than the finished bracelet. Because you need more length for the rings.

2. Again, make sure that the bracelet is adjustable. With me, it is again 5cm.

3. From the adjuster, I measured 2,5cm, and here I want to place my first ring.

4. Thread the rings as shown in the video.

5. Measure the bracelet length again from the ring plus 2cm. Since my arm joints are narrower, it is 17cm in my case.

6. Pull the strap end through the ring, fold in 2cm and sew together by hand or machine.

7. Done!
