DIY Panja Jewelry

After I saw a girl wearing an authentic Panja bracelet, I was instantly inspired. I don't have a picture of her actual hand, but I found some inspiration online.

These bracelets are also known as "slave" bracelets, but I feel like Panja is a more suited term.

I made myself a simple chain one that goes around my wrist then connects to my thumb, middle, and pinky fingers. I hope to get pictures up soon!


Here is the inspiration!

DIY Bedazzled/Embroidered Bralet

If you're lucky enough to live in a place where these are already trending (or has already trended and gone) and you have a lot of plain ones laying around that you'd be willing to sacrifice, go for it! Not like you'd really be sacrificing anything because this DIY will make your bralet look fabulous and really be a statement piece!

If you're really wanting to invest a lot of time with this, I'd suggest embroidering beads and such on to your bralet (if it's thin enough b/c if it's too thick your hands/fingers will hate you in less than 30 minutes).

If you're looking for a quick little statement piece to wear out later tonight or within a few days and you don't have a lot of time on your hands I suggest hot glue or e6000 glue (my all time favorite). just be careful with the dreaded overgluing that could happen. be really careful.

Grab some things like sequins or jewels or pearls (as seen below) or even some unconventional things like bolts and safety pins *drool* for that all out upcycled look.

Let your imagination run wild!

Good luck! <3

DIY Hand Chain

Thanks to Elenita for this great idea. I thought I'd share it. :)

Just take apart a plain old chain necklace and use some jump rings to attach/create the design.
