Steps (6 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Using 2 small jump rings attach both clasp parts to the different ends of the chain to make a bracelet.

  2. 2

    Divide the metal buttons equally over the whole length of the chain and mark the links where you want to attach the buttons.

  3. 3

    Lay one button upside down and slide a marked link on. Use two small jump rings to connect the neighbouring chain links to the buttonhole. Put one more jump ring through the button hole and close.

  4. 4

    Repeat step 3 with the rest of the metal buttons.

  5. 5

    Use one large jump ring to attach a Flower Life button to the chain between two metal buttons. Use another large jump ring to attach a small plastic bead to the Flower Life button.

  6. 6

    Repeat step 5 with the rest of the Flower Life buttons.
