The ‘Crafty Creations: Washer Bracelet’ by Lauren Conrad

The ‘Crafty Creations: Washer Bracelet’ by Lauren Conrad is a great DIY take on an easy bracelet idea. The summery bracelet (or whatever season you like, depending on the palette you choose) is an easy creation, but something that a lot of people may not have thought to do themselves.

The idea involves very few materials to create. With ribbon, scissors, washers and your hands, you’re set to go. Lauren Conrad of the Beauty Department -- and of course, The Hills -- has taken it upon herself to give some awesome tutorials for crafts, floral arrangements, make-up, hair styles and more. Her personal style reflects the guides she creates for others, which makes it pretty awesome.

DIY-able accessories and ideas have become huge in recent times and allowed a great expression of creativity.
