Friday Fun: 1 Broken Bracelet + 1 Glue Gun = 2 New Accessories

Over the years, I have bought a lot of bracelets. In the past, if one of these bracelets break, I just throw it away and buy another one. Well, I have decided to start repurposing my broken bracelets.

Here is how I took one broken bracelet and turned it into a ring and a hair accessory




You will need:

Broken bracelet or necklace with different decorative beads
Ring band
Glue gun
Headband
Scissors

Step One: Seperate the decorative beads and charms by cutting off the thread that connects them.



Step Two: Assemble each of the beads and charms for easy access.  Determine which part you will use for the ring and the headband



Making the ring: I choose to use this beautiful bracelet charm.



Making a horizontal ring

Step One: Using the glue gun, put some glue on the ring band.



Step Two: Attach the decorative charm, horizontally on the ring band. Hold against the ring band for a couple of seconds.

Here is the result




Making a vertical ring

Step One: Using the glue gun, put some glue on the center of the decorative charm.



Step Two: Attach the ring band to the charm. Hold against the charm for a couple of seconds.



Here is the result



Making the headband accessory

Step One: Arrange the beads and decorative charms how you would like them to look.


Step Two: Apply a little glue to the area where the first bead would be placed



Step Three:  Put the beads or charms on the glue area and press hard for a couple of seconds.  Repeat Step One to Three until you are done arrange each bead or charm.



Viola!

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
