Make a charm bracelet from scratch?(plan on buying charms though)?

Answer 1

Hi, I'm not really sure what information you're looking for as you didn't say but you could just buy some chain and cut it (or get it cut) to size and either add a clasp or it might already have one on it.  If you're buying the charms, there isn't really much to do.  However, if you want to make it a bit different, you could make the chain yourself, though it's time-consuming and can end up easily going wrong.  Just get strong wire (whatever colour you want ... buy it either in a DIY store or craftshop), a small pair of pliers and a small pair of wire cutters.  Make links by cutting the wire to size and shaping it using the pliers and either use some very soft wire to bind it together or some glue or solder.  Do this over and over again til your chain is the right length.

Or you could use threads or hemp or wool or anything else for that matter and just make sure you leave loops for the charms.  There's some instructions for a hemp bracelet here... http://familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts/...

That could be nice.  Or learn to crochet (VERY simple if you only do one row) or knit (also simple when you get the hang of it) or use felt!  Or if you want something a bit simpler, just get some cord or elastic and make a beaded bracelet.

Experiment and you'll find something you like.

Look on the internet for different handmade bracelets and if you find something you like, you'll probably be able to easily find instructions online too.

Hopefully that helped a little, sorry I'm not sure what you're looking for.

Good luck.
