DIY Bohemian chic jewelry with this month's box set from My Vintage charms!

Do you remember a few weeks ago when I introduced you to the monthly subscription boxes from My Vintage charms? Surprise, surprise they were kind enough to send me May's box also! The theme this month is boho! Since I love anything boho and I had my birthday a week ago, this was like the best birthday gift! As soon as I opened the box, I started thinking of lots of things to make! My first idea was to make a tassel necklace!

This post is sponsored, I was given the box for free but, as always, all opinions are 100% my own!"

I will give you the instructions to make this tassel necklace in a bit but first here's a pick of what's inside this month's box :

(The photo is not very good, I took it with my smartphone, sorry, I couldn't wait to get started)

Inside this month's box you can find a huge selection of boho charms, cute tassels, beads and pendants. They were wrapped in a beautiful paper. The icing on the cake is a unique designer card! For my first project, the tassel necklace, here's what I used :

All these were in the box (and the jumprings!), I only added the headpin!
First I used the headpin to connect the Buddha bead with one tassel and I put jumprings on all the tassels and on the colorful little bells.

Next I attached the tassels, the bells and the pendant to the chain necklace. (The chain was a ready-made necklace complete with a clasp so I didn't have to do anything more!)

I really like the way this tassel necklace turned out! It's so colorful and playfull! I have a feeling that it's going to be my favorite for the summer!

I also made a pair of earrings using these stunning turquoise howlite beads and the filigree charms.

Finally, I found these two colorful bangles in the box and I paired them with some charms.

I'm certainly not done with this box, I can make more beautiful boho jewelry with it's content! Just like the previous one this box was also nicely and thoughtfully put together and opening it was a nice surprise!

3 easy ways to make boho spring bracelets!

πως να φτιάξω βραχιόλι με χάντρες 5:58 μ.μ.

After a long winter I'm in desperate need of a change! This is why I made a set of 3 bracelets with a spring and boho vibe! Most important, those cuties are really easy to make and need a minimum amount of materials! You can totally use leftovers from other projects!

Μετά από έναν βαρύ χειμώνα όλοι θέλουμε μια αλλαγή! Λίγο χρώμα, λίγη άνοιξη επιτέλους! Έτσι κι εγω έφτιαξα πολύχρωμα ανοιξιάτικα βραχιόλια με την αγαπημένη μου boho αισθητική! Ελάτε να σας δείξω πως μπορείτε εύκολα να τα φτιάξετε κι εσείς με λίγα υλικά!

Here are my materials :

-Various beads of 2 different sizes
-A tassel (or you can make your own from scratch)
-A connector charm (mine is a cross)
-Chain
-A feather charm
-Suede leather cord
-Bead stringing wire
-Crimp beads
-Magnetic clasps or/and lobster clasps
-Ribbon crimp ends

Tα υλικά που χρησιμοποίησα :
-Χάντρες σε διαφορετικά μεγέθη
-Ένα φουντάκι (ή φτιάξτε ένα μόνοι σας)
-Ένα σταυρό με δυο κρικάκια
-Αλυσίδα λεπτή
-Ενα τσαρμ - φτερό
-Σουετ κορδόνι
-Ατσαλόσυρμα
-Στοπάκια
-Κουμπώματα (μαγνητικά ή/και "παπαγαλάκια")
-Ακροδέκτες για φλατ κορδόνι

To make the beads and chain delicate bracelet just follow the instructions here.

Για να φτιάξετε το διακριτικό βραχιολάκι με την αλυσίδα δείτε οδηγίες εδώ.

Το make the suede bracelet, first take two pieces of the suede and tie them like this on each side of your connector.

Για να φτιάξετε το σουετ με το σταυρό δέστε δυο κομματάκια από το σουετ όπως στη φωτο παρακάτω

Measure the bracelet to your wrist and cut the excess leather. Next using flat nose pliers press the crimp ends on both sides and attach the clasp of your choice.

Μετρήστε το στον καρπό σας και κόψτε όσο σουετ δε χρειάζεται. Τέλος χρησιμοποιώντας την πένσα σας πιέστε τους ακροδέκτες στις άκρες και βάλτε και τα κουμπώματα.

Finally to make the beaded bracelet cut a piece of stringing wire and using a crimp bead attach the clasp.

Για το βραχιόλι με τις χάντρες πάρτε ένα κομμάτι ατσαλόσυρμα και περάστε ένα στοπάκι. Περάστε και το κούμπωμα και ασφαλίστε το στοπάκι.

String the beads and the charm and when you reach the desired length finish the bracelet with a crimp bead just like you started it.

Περάστε τις χάντρες και το τσαρμ και τελειώστε το βραχιόλι με ένα στοπάκι και το κούμπωμα όπως το αρχίσατε.

That's it! Show off your new boho bracelets!

Αυτό ήταν! Φορέστε τα καινούρια σας βραχιόλια!
