And the winner of Monday’s Give Away was: Chari!!! Chari has a delightful blog, Happy to Design!Congrats Chari!!! Thanks for commenting, I love comments! Shoot me an email at rrg723@yahoo.com with your address and I’ll get your sign right out to you!
Now onto today’s giveaway…and there are 3 chances! Just leave a little ole comment!
Let’s do a little tutorial today! I know not all of you love the crafts like I do, but today if you’ll bear with me and leave a little comment you could win one of THREE anklets! That’s right, today I’ll give away THREE! Woo Hoo!
Is it just in the South, or do girls everywhere wear anklets when the weather gets warm? The moment sandals and Capri’s and sun dresses come out of storage, you can see little jewelry decorating ankles everywhere! I made some of these last year and gave some away. You know I love to give things away! The one I kept for my own bad self, I wore nonstop all summer. In the ocean, in the pool…everywhere!
Here’s all you need to start…the findings are just end clamps and all of this can be found at Michael’s and JoAnn’s!Cut 2 pieces of hemp or cotton cord between 8 and 9 inch’s depending on the dainty little ankle you’ll be adorning!
Okay here’s what I do, you Do NOT have to use this glue. I have a love hate relationship with it myself. I get it all over my hands and it takes about 24 hours to wear off! I dip the ends of the cord in a dab of glue before putting them into the end clamp. But you can simply clamp the ends. I’m OCD and feel compelled to glue and clamp! 
The end clamps are easy, just put the cord in and use needle nose pliars to close the ends of the clamp over the cord. Do the other side of your cord the same way! 
To one side of the end clamp attach a clasp like this one…
I love to add charms to the other end. I think the little shells are delightful!
Now, knot both cords through the round charm like this. It’s difficult to describe but doing it is easy!
Taaa Daaa!
I’m sorry you have to see my ankle Peeps, the pups have itty bitty ankles and they were terrible models!
Okay, now just leave me an adorable comment and your name is entered to win one of THREE little anklets!
And a big PS! Look at what I won over at “Seriously“, my bud Vanessa’s blog! She’s the Green Queen and I’m a mere pauper in the Green Kingdom, but she’s teaching me my Green manners! These are Method (Green) cleaners! But mostly, I’m not gonna lie, I love them because they’re PINK!!!!

I simply adore those anklets. I love the sweet messages too. I hope I can find those word circle things or even better win one!
Taryn’s last blog post..A Very Tired Weekend
Saw “Tutorial: Ankle” on my Whip Up feed & was like “Whoo Hoo!!”. LOVE bracelets -ankle, wrist, either, both- and these are totally my style! Win or not, I def will be making some of these. And it will be a great project to do with my nieces & nephews.
Thanks so much for the great tute!
Thank you for the easy-to-follow tutorial and for the idea. I am going to make these for my sisters who do not like fussy jewelry, but would like the sentiment and the shells! I have a simple necklace, myself, that someone gave me from an artist’s fair and I am going to make one of these to go with it. I am really excited. Thanks for the heads-up on the glue, too.
People look at you weird here in Houston if you’re not wearing one LOL. Those are adorable and I WILL be making one or more this weekend!

Katie’s last blog post..dear mom,
These are absolutely adorable! Thanks for the great tutorial.
These would make truly lovely high school graduation gifts. My Waldorf-educated daughter claims to hate crafts (how the heck did that happen?!), but I think even she would want to make these for her graduating girlfriends. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the tutorial & give-away!
Too cute! I will have to make myself one of these if I don’t win one.
What darling anklets! I would LOVE to wear one of those for the summer!
Thank you for the great idea. I LOVE it. This would be a great grad gift for my daughter to give to her friends.
What lovely anklets!! I don’t know how I stumbled upon your blog but I’m glad I did. Thanks for sharing.

I love these!!! Glad I popped over from WhipUp. I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but you’re making a lark’s head knot.
I’m new to this, i copied your email and sent a comment then felt stupid so I did some searching and found where to leave a comment.
I love these bracelets. I think I will try and do them for a Family Reunion and then pass the cute idea on to my daughters, one is an Achievement leader and one is a Mutual leader, so it will be going strong . So Thank youfor such a cute idea.
I found your blog by accident and it was the best accident I have ever had.
Thank you again, and happy day to you.

I love the anklets. They are adorable. I know my daughter-in-law would like to know how to make them. I’m going to send her a link.
Jeane Gallo’s last blog post..Fairy Visit
These are fantastic, thank you so much for posting the how-to’s for those of us who are not craft ability challenged, but still want to have special time and hopefully instill some confidence and craft ability in our daughters! We are definately making these!! My daughter is so excited she wants to make these for her friends birthday gifts — THANK YOU!!!Blessings!
I can’t wait to share this project with my friends at the lake! I am having a hard time finding the round charm (Lost and Found open pendant). I will keep searching but appreciate any help.
Thanks for the fun project!
Not sure where you are Deb, do you have a Michaels or JoAnn’s? I think any craft store that sells jewlery findings would have them! I’m going to check online though and see if I can locate some and I’ll let you know.
Thx for stopping by!

How cool! I love this type of anklet. The one’s I’ve had before have been braided and I’ve worn them until they eventually fall off. These are really neat though – think a trip to Michael’s is in order to see if my dd and I can’t make some together. Thanks for a great idea and great instructions.
I just love everything you have. Especially the anklets! Awesome job!
These are the cutest anklets! I’m definitely going to be making some of these this week. I swear, the employees at Michael’s are going to know me by name by the end of this summer!
Natalie
Oooh! Love these. Now I need to go make a pile of them!
This is a wonderful tutorial! Thanks for sharing. I’ve posted a link.
I cannot wait to try to make these! They are sooo cute! I love it!
Thank you for teaching us!
