From the looks of it, it seems to me like arm parties are far from being out of style. And why would it be? The arm party is a fun, unique and cute trend that lets you really get creative with your accessories. It’s also a great excuse to put all those bracelets you’ve accumulated over the years into good use. Stacking bracelets, bangles, cuffs and watches on your arm is a wonderful way to cheer up even the plainest of the plain outfit. Though buying an arm party in sets that are ready to wear is a convenient option, doesn’t making your own bracelet to add to your arm party just sound so much better? Here are some ideas that you can use as inspiration for cute DIY bracelets to make and add to your arm party.

  • Lego bracelet – if you’re looking for a bracelet that’s sure to add a splash of color to your arm party, making a Lego bracelet is one of your best bets. Lego piecess come in different shapes, sizes and colors. Combine, mix and match them any way you want to come up with a piece that’s truly unique.
