Kate Spade Saturday has gone crazy for bungee cord, which means lots of DIY inspiration for us.

1. Multistranded Necklace 2. Corded-Handle Bucket 3. Tray 4. Knot Necklace 5. Multistranded Bracelet 6. Earrings

For the jewelry, pick up some colorful nylon rope (available at hardware stores), and some metal jewelry endcaps. Last year I did a tutorial on how to make cord bracelets using neon rope, and you could easily adapt it for a necklace. If you want an even easier version, here’s a simple cord wrap bracelet tutorial. It’s nautical, but still colorful and fun, and perfect for summer!
