Sporting the most modest of #armparty we’ve ever seen her in, Leandra ‘Man Repeller‘ Medine showed up at NYFW sporting THESE GUYS. What are they, you ask? Well, they’re bracelet-ring hybrids and they’re made by Dannijo and they’re wicked. We recreated some similar hand-spanning creations. And filmed it. So you can learn, too.

STEP 3: Tie both ends to secure.
STEP 4: Using the glue gun, stick a decorative bead on top of the knot that is tied to the bangle.
Continue adhering beads in a pattern around the bangle.
STEP 5: Tie the lose end of wire to the ring, and cut off excess.
STEP 6: Using a glue gun, adhere a large statement bead on top of the knot you have just created.
