Bracelets
are great gifts that can look really classy or fun. You can use any
type of beads you want. To make a bracelet you need several tools.
Ingredients:
- Chain
- Clasp
- Flat Head Pins - about 25 depending on wrist size
- Small Metal Circle
- Beads
- Needle Nose Plyers
- Wire Cutter
Start by measuring your chain. Cut and set aside.
For
the beads you start with a pin. Slide the bead on and trim the top. You
will have to experiment a bit with how much to snip. Then use your
needle nose pliers to curve the tip into a circle.
Your finished product should look something like this:
Now make a bunch of these. To attach them to the chain just open the circle and slip it on the chain.
I put the beads on every third chain. To finish up put your small circle on one end and your claw clasp on the other end.
The finished bracelet should look a bit like this:
These
basic skills can help you make a LOT of jewelry. You can make earrings,
bracelets, anklets, or whatever you want. Be creative and try out a new
skill!
