Fifi's craft - Cable tie accessories - 22 September
Cable ties are incredibly useful for all kinds of fixing and
tying things. But did you know you can also make cool jewellery for
fancy dress out of them?
You will need:
Coloured cable ties- buy them in a big pack of multi
colours and sizes from a hardware store. Look out for the
specials!
Optional: beads and spray paint
1) Find a thin cable tie long enough to go around your
wrist
2) Now thread shorter coloured cable ties onto it
3) If you like, thread beads onto the wrist tie in between the
cable ties
4) For a rich look, spray paint with gold or silver
paint!
5) Loop it around your wrist and do it up (not too
tightly)
These look great for adorning costumes for necks, wrists and ankles
Use black ones for insects, multi coloured for punk or disco, green
ones for an island theme. Try threading a few onto a small
cable tie, do it up tight and thread it onto a piece of string for
a fan shaped pendant.
Tie coloured ones onto the links in a thick chain to make a
futuristic necklace.
No scissors or glue needed - easy!
