Material:

This project is relatively easy.  The hardest part about this project is finding the studs.  I'd highly recommend purchasing from the link provided.  The lady I worked with in China was fast and efficient.  Happy DIYing!

Step 1: tie a small knot at end of thread

Step 2: thread the studs, measure what length fits you best

Step 3: tie several knots to tie the bracelet. I'd recommend leaving some slack, this way the studs will lay correctly.

The skirt before it got a makeover!

You'll need an old skirt, lace fabric, scissor, seam ripper, pins, ruler

Seams are ripped on each side.

Hope you enjoy the tutorial.  Lace is one of the most popular trends for spring.  This is an easy way to incorporate lace in your wardrobe for $15! My khaki skirt is from Banana Republic.  I was going to sell it online, but I figured I could revamp the skirt.  The lace was purchased at Joann's.  Make sure you take the skirt with you, so you can measure how much lace you'll need for your project.
