Some fun D-I-Y tricks for teens

Glam 'N' glitter

Take a string of sequins. Fold it into half and twist and two strands together from the bottom.

After securing the intertwined strands at regular intervals with a small stitch, start threading in as many small gold ball charms as you like.

Fasten a bigger charm, like a belt, onto one end of the bracelet and draw it through the loop at the other end to make a full circle. Pair it with a rock chic tee and you're ready.

Blue bells

String small beads onto wrist length thread. Make two such strands. Tie the two strands at both ends and ensure that they are parallel to each other. Hang bell charms at regular intervals.

For an added twist, after you’ve done, twirl the two strands together before wearing with a matching dress.

Shell out

String your selection of coloured beads onto a thread long enough to go comfortably around your wrist.
