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!!!!

Teaching teenage girls at church, I know they’d love these! They’d make a great craft for little girls. (I’m thinking Vacation Bible School.) They’re so hip and dainty at the same time. And Julie Garmon would love to win one because she doesn’t frequent the craft aisle.
You know I am with Julie on not frequenting the craft aisle
Although I am working on a super cute snack idea my son’s whole class enjoyed!
Cute craft idea!
Blessings,
Vicky

I love, love, love these! I love anklets and mine broke two summers ago and I still haven’t bought another one that I like, but I like these! You are so, so crafty. I made your pretty hand sanitizers and gave them to the boys teachers for Teacher Appreciation week. They were fun! Keep these great ideas coming:)

I love this tutorial. I am going to town tomorrow and will have to make a stop for the round main charm – I already have all the other stuff! yippy- love that
What a great little idea! I think I might make some as party favours – thanks!
This is a lovely anklet/bracelet. It’s been a long time since I wore an anklet, though it’s always hot and sunny here. Thanks for the giveaway.

How adorable. Those pictures bring back childhood memories.
Rob, now you are talking my language, I love this because, besides the glue, I admit, it scares me, I could do this with Kayla and Candace and they would absolotely love it. They were using some of that stuff this weekend to make me a bracelet for Mum’s Day.
Where did you get the charms, Michaels. I hate/love Michaels they could make a crafter out of me yet. I spend so much money when I go there, I must go with a list.
BTW, I had a meeting with God yesterday and I felt His presence for the first time in a long time. I am pretty sure He was there all a long. Thanks for being His hands and heart to me.
Ruthie’s last blog post..Only one thing
Just saw you through whip-up; these are great and either of my two daughters or two stepdaughters (yes, that’s four girls) would love these. Whether I win or not, we’ll be making these soon, thanks to your great tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
We even wear them in Denmark
It’s not the warmest country in the world, but when the sun is out so is my anklet. But it’s all alone and would love to get company by yours 
I love your anklet and the tute was great! Please enter me in your giveaway!
I so want to make one! Thank you so much!
oh wow… thanks for this tutorial. My girl scout troop would love these. I’ll have to see if I can get everything next week, when I got near a craft store.
Those are adorable! I’d love to make one, thanks for the great tutorial!
Michelle Pendergrass’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday
Perfect craft to do with my grandkids. My daughters would love these, especialy if the kids made them!
Oh i’m so excited my teenage girls and there freinds are gona love these. I will enjoy makeing them with the kids. I bet i could even get my teen son to wear one on his wrist. thank you so much.
Love your site and the adorable anklets! So refreshing and bright! Hope I can win a “Faith” one, since that’s my name! Thanks for the tutorial, it really looks fun!
I love these with all my heart…..the moment I saw them, I knew what they could mean to people. …now the rest of the story.
To me these are the tie’s that bind…..meaning the three people that would wear them would be bound together. I would wear one, place one on my mother and hurry and send one to our Niece…..first to graduate and go on to college. She is a very smart girl, and she feels a connection with mom and I, because we are strange artists (age 61 and 79) like she is. Misty thinks we are the only ones that understand how she thinks of things that don’t exist yet. She decided to become a graphic designer.
Win them or not, I Thank You for sharing and restarting my creative mind. I needed that. And now I want to make things that bind friends and family.
You know, I wonder how washers with perm. ink would work on these, then coat with marine varnish…….hummm, anyway, thank you again for sharing this. I love them. Linda in AZ – first time here
Those are so dang cute! I even think I could maybe make them, but I’d much rather win them! I’m so glad I found your blog! Thanks!
Those are so cute! You just gave me an excuse to use the Michel’s coupon I have in my wallet.

These are so cute! Makes me want to get out of my pjs and go to michaels (well almost)
Oh, these are wonderful, and even better than the expensive ones you see in stores. My own ankles–not so adorable. My daughter and her friends would love these, though! Thanks for the tute!
Nancy’s last blog post..A little rejuvenation break
What a great idea! I’ve seen these before being sold for outrageous prices, but now I see how simple they are to make (and probably cheaper!) Your tutorial makes it seem so easy.
Robin,
Came over from one pretty thing. i love the anklet! I live where it is continually sunny, an anklet would be lovely..if I win. Great tutorial and website.
I love those! I think my daughter would love to have one (and so would I!).
These are so cute. My daughter would love to make these for friends and give them away on the last day of school. Thank you for the tutorial!
Just found u as well thru whip-up. Great tutorial – now if only there was a Michaels (or something even *remotely* close) in Greece! Need to visit home so I can stock up on such goodies.
