Easy to make Charm Bracelet
I have been sorting through my stash of beads and came across these little charmers! I made them as part of a demonstration at a Craft show we attended earlier this year in Telford.
As I was making them I realised they are a great beginner’s project, using simple techniques such as opening a jump ring and turning a loop.
As well as being economical and fun to make, they look absolutely gorgeous! Julesgems has a super choice of Czech Fire polished glass mixes for you to choose from, so you can have one to match every outfit!
To make a beaded component just slip a couple of the beads in 4mm and 6mm onto the headpin, snip about 1cm above the last bead and bend the wire at a right angle to the bead with the round nose pliers. Then bring the end of the wire back around to form a loop. Open your jump ring, slide on the beaded component and thread through a link in the chain. Repeat until your bracelet is jam packed full of lovely beads! Finish with an easy to wear magnetic clasp.
For an extra sparkle, find a matching colour in Swarovski Crystal Bicones and incorporate them into the design.
I find making these bracelets very therapeutic! My next colour choice is Prairie; the warm tones are perfect to carry me through from summer to autumn.
Good luck!
