I’ve never done a “Flashback Monday” but this easy anklet got lots of props last Summer when I first posted it HERE! I thought maybe some of you may want to try it with your daughters!
*****
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!
I’ll be linking to Metamorphosis Monday!
Not sure this would look good on me Robin. LOL

I am will Bill. Not quite my style. However, my daughters would love them…. in a few years. 🙂 They are simple and look great. Maybe I could try out my crafty side and make one for my wife! I bet she would love them as well. Thanks!

Mine is going strong after 1 whole summer of use already. It tickled me so to tell everyone that a “friend” made it for me. Love having a bit of you near me daily.

My daughter wanted to make something for her and her friends to wear to camp. These are great!
What a great craft! It is easy and will get lots of use. I can’t wait to make one after I get to town to buy the supplies. Thanks for re-posting this Robin!

these are so cute! i will be making these w/ my 2 daughters , 7 & 9 years old. as well as one for myself and maybe for some gifts! thanks for the great idea! and no it’s not just the south- here in cali we love our foot/ankle jewelry! toe rings, anklets any bling for the footsie is fab!
Love this idea, so cute! Especially the fact that you can wear it ALL the time, my kind of jewelry!
I like these, Robin. And I think I could actually do them!
Now with the guys feeling left out, I wonder that craft would be unisex?

Hello,
Where can I find supplies to make bracelets, cotton cords, round metal-faith peace.
I live in France.
Thank you for the reply.
Regards.

Joyce…can you order from Michael’s online? That’s where I got everything but I’d think any craft store would have what you need! Good luck!!!
I love these, and want to make a few. Can you provide a really specific list of items needed? I am going to order the stuff – so want to have specific names for items. Thanks for the awesome ideas. Ildiko
Very cute!
I haven’t worn an ankle bracelet (what we call them here in the NW) in years. I used to make beaded ones. The only people I see wear them these days are young girls.
I really love to make my own as it’s very hard to find the right size anklet for me! this DIY anklet is just perfect.
I’d really love to know what each items you used are called. and also what leather cord sizes are 🙂 I really hope to hear back from you soon!
