Mobile Phone Strap
So Fun

I just love using crystals with vibrant colors to make phone charms. Choose color choices that suit you, as well as a beautiful charm to add to the end of the crystal chain. I’ve used belcher chain with links of 2mm for this project. Another way of making a short chain is to use small jump rings, and attach them to each other to form a chain.

Now it’s time to attach the crystals to the chain. Take your round nose pliers and open the loop of each crystal. Try not to open it too wide, otherwise the round shape of the loop might be distorted. Take one crystal and attach it to the last link of the chain. Close the loop completely with your round nose pliers to avoid the crystal from sliding off the chain.

Attach one crystal to every link of the chain. Close each loop completely.

The last thing you need to do is to attach the silver charm. Open the 4 or 5mm jump ring as illustrated on the page how to open jump rings. Slide the charm onto the jump ring first. Then slide the last link of the chain (to which the first crystal bead was attached) onto the jump ring. Close the jump ring the same way that you’ve opened it. Well done. I hope this inspired you to make phone charms and lovely beaded jewelry.
