2 Ways Chain Bracelet

Hey everyone! I got an all new bracelet tutorial, two different ways to make an elegant chain bracelet. Just follow these easy steps:


Materials:

  • Chain
  • Ribbon
  • Ruler
  • Hot glue gun
  • Pliers
  • Clasp
  • Jump rings






Bracelet 1: Ribbon Tie Bracelet 
Step 1- Find the small gap in the chain and that is where you will use your pliers to twist it open so you can break off a piece of the chain about 4 inches long. 

Step 2- Weave the ribbon through the openings of the chain. (Tip: Attach a pin to the end of the ribbon so you can easily weave the ribbon in and out of the chain.) Then just cut the ribbon your desired length, remember to leave enough left so you can tie it on.

Step 3- Use a bit of hot glue to secure the ends of the chain to the ribbon. (Tip: Heat the ends of the ribbon so the threads don't come unraveled. I took the picture before I heated the ends.) And there you have it, a simple and beautiful ribbon tie bracelet.



Bracelet 2: Ribbon Wrapped Bracelet 
Step 1- Using your pliers break off a piece of a chain about 7 inches long, or your wrist size length. (Look at previous step 1 for more instructions.)

Step 2- Weave the ribbon through the openings of the chain. 

Step 3- Once you finish weaving the ribbon in the chain cut off the ends. Then you can fold the excess ribbon inward and use a bit of hot glue to secure the ends of the ribbon to the chain.

Step 4- Using your pliers twist open a jump ring and add it to one corner of the bracelet then close that jump ring by twisting it back in place. Using the same process add another jump ring with a clasp at the other side. Now you have a ribbon wrapped bracelet.
