This bracelet will take time but is fairly simple to make and with practice and high quality materials, will look professionally made.
Steps
-
Cut a length of wire about 10cm long (it easier to work with at this length and you will be able to make quite a few links from it).
-
Form a small loop at one end of the wire.
-
Thread a bead or group of beads onto the wire.
-
Cut the wire about 1cm from the last bead.
-
Bend the straight end of the wire (after the beads) into a loop. This is the first link for your bracelet.
-
Continue to make links in the same manner until you have enough to make your bracelet.
-
Join the links together directly, or use jump rings to fasten them together.
-
Add your clasp when your bracelet is long enough to almost fit around your wrist. Join the clasp with a jump ring at one end of your bracelet and use a larger jump ring on the other end of the bracelet which your clasp will fasten to.
Warnings
- Be careful when cutting wire as the pieces will be sharp.
