DIY: Rope & Crystal Cuff

COFFEE_3Did anyone else catch MoutonCollet’s collection on Moda Operandi?  I did, and (surprise surprise) I wanted absolutely everything.  Especially this bracelet.  I decided to try my hand at making a version… using rope – and a pretty crystal that fell off a necklace I’d bought ages ago at Forever 21.  This is an easy one… and I’m pretty pleased with the result!

    This is so pretty, Grace! My Forever 21 pieces are always falling apart, so reusing them is a great idea. Plus, this looks so simple!
