Rhinestones and crystals are having a moment this season, so it’s the right time to add some bling to your accessory collection. If you prefer making your own to shopping at Claire’s (and who doesn’t, really), take a look at this DIY statement bracelet tutorial from Jenni from ISpy-DIY.
DIY Statement Bracelet: Supplies
You need: Gold and silver chain from M&J Trimming, Rhinestone, Black Suede rope, pliers, bracelet closure.
DIY Statement Bracelet: How-to
1. Tie two pieces of chain together.
Tie together the two pieces of chain with a double knot. Your two chains should be the same size links so they match up when you are weaving rope.
2. Weave together first links of chains.
Start by weaving together the first link of the chains.
3. Add in rhinestones.
Place the rhinestones in between the two pieces of chain and begin weaving all three.
4. Continue weaving.
Continue weaving down the chains, pulling the rope tightly between each link.
5. Remove extra links.
Using your pliers, remove any extra links so all three chains line up. Tie a double knot at the end.
6. Add closures.
Tie the closures on each end. Trim excess rope.
7. Wear it!
Fasten around your wrist and to create a great mixed metal look!
