I've been looking around for bracelets like these:

Any ideas where I can find them? Online stores/sellers? The thing is, I've been looking around online, and all I can find are crazy fancied out bracelets with all these types of stones and what not. I can't find any simpler ones like these.

Yeah, I know I can actually make those beaded ones, but I really suck at DIY projects.

Thanks.

Go to the nearest arts and crafts stores and but a simple kit... If that is truely too hard for you, find some kindergarteners and have them do it for you. Not sure on your locale, but you might try a bazaar/fleemarket.

Well I did try that. I headed over to Michael's, but the only things they had were big beads. They didn't have any smaller beads, and I only found the basic blue, red, yellow, green beads.

Bummer.

I'm also interested in those stringy type bracelets. Also, I'm not really a fan of the leather/studded bracelets I see everywhere.

You need to try an actual bead store. I have about 6 of them in my area. I always go with my girlfriend. They definitely will have stuff like this. Where do you live? I'm sure they is one somewhere nearby.

Not sure where Luca Rubinacci gets these but I'm not sure if they are as accessable as they look in these pics. His look good with his bespoke suits and playful socks, but unless you dress this way it could likely look very odd.

Cool, so I found good beads at Michael's today. I just had to look hard, haha.

One problem though, it's REALLY hard to make good adjustable bracelets. Should I just tie them permanently? Will they look out of place in different outfits?

EDIT: I'm making the bracelets similar to the ones in the second picture.

I might have something for you, and you'd help charity by purchasing it...my mom has a non-profit called Hearts of Gold that has a little bracelet available, looks kinda like something you might vibe.

Looking forward to those; looks like a cool group.

Anyways, I've decided that it will be less of a hassle to just make those bead bracelets.

Oh, and to anyone who also wants to make some, use elastic string. I made some with adjustable length w/e, and it's crap. So use elastic string! Saves you time.
