I used to be a jewelry teacher at our local craft store. I had to come up with a project for my beginners class and I wanted it to be something simple but still pretty. So, this is the result. I was actually very pleased with how it turned out and some of my student's creations were totally awesome. I would love to see how it turns out for you! Have fun!!!

Instructions

  1. Small dsc 0082 1307148102

    With a pair of pliers in each hand, open your jump ring.

  2. Small dsc 0083 1307148222

    Add beads. I put 2 beads per Jump ring. Close the Jump ring.

  3. Small dsc 0084 1307148275

    Open another jump ring. While the jump ring is open, add your beads and the previous closed beaded jump ring.

  4. Small dsc 0085 1307148439

    Close your jump rings by wiggling the two ends together with your pliers until the ends match up. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your bracelet (or necklace) is the length you would like it.

  5. Small dsc 0081 1307148558

    To add clasp, add a non-beaded jump ring to each side of your bracelet (necklace). While the jump ring is open add one side of the clasp to one end and the other side of the clasp to the other end. Close jump rings. Add a little charm if you would like. I made mine with a head pin and a few left over beads. Good Luck!
