Super Cool Bat Bracelet

This curved bat sits just right on your wrist, ready to fly. We love him in his natural naked brass finish but you can patina him with heat or use a painted patina.

Instructions

1. 

   Using your round pliers bend the tip of one bat wing around to form a loop as shown. Repeat with other wing tip.

2. 

   Using your hands, gently bend the brass bat into a curve that fits the front of your wrist.

3. 

   Using your cutters, cut extender chain into two sections, on 2 inches, one 1 1/5 inches long. Thread Swarovski rhinestone ball onto head pin and loop using round nose pliers. Open loop on rhinestone ball and attach to 1 1/5 inch chain section. Using your chain nose pliers attach spring clasp to 2 inch chain section. Using your chain nose pliers and jump rings, attach chain sections to each bat wing using two jump rings on the end of each wing for strength. Close jump rings securely.

4. 

   Use remaining jump rings to attach both owls back-to-back as shown to create a two-sided owl charm near the clasp.
