"I love charm bracelets. I love how they dangle and jingle. So, I decided to make some personalized charm bracelets for my daughter and her friends as birthday gifts. Charm bracelets are perfect for beginner jewelry makers. Unless you make some of your own charms the only thing you need to know is how to do is open and close a jump ring and cut chain. Pretty basic!"
Equipment:
Needle Nose Pliers
Round Nose Pliers
Nylon Pliers (Optional)
Materials:
Link Chain Your choice
Lobster claw clasp Your choice to match chain
Jump Rings Your choice to match chain
Charms Your choice
Beads Your choice
Instructions:
Cut chain to desired length. Child length, cut the chain to 6 1/2″. Adult length, cut the chain to 8″ long
Attach the lobster claw to one end with a jump ring. To wear you can just clip it to the chain, so it’s adjustable.
Trying adding color by using multiple different glass beads.
Figure out the order you want the beads to go in. It worked out that I put a charm in every other link and filled in the spaces with bead dangles.
Just attach them with jump rings. Super easy. I made sure to attach them all on the same side of the chain and made sure the charms were all facing the same direction.
Whatever your theme, or jewelry style is. Go with it and have fun. The possibilities are endless!
I think these charm bracelets turned out super cute. Enjoy and have fun yourself!
"Charm bracelets make great holiday gifts for friends and family. Wrap in a little box with a cute ribbon and bow. Waaa Laaa!"
