Hey Everyone,
I'm sick at the moment with an awful flu, so today I'm going to share this tutorial really quickly with heaps of photos so you can't go wrong..
These bracelets are so easy to make - I whipped up 4 in less than an hour
Simply all you need are;
beads, charms, chain, jump rings, head pins and a clasp.
Not pictured - you will need pliers to open the chain links and to bend the head pins. You don't need fancy jewellery pliers, any long nose ones will do.

Snip the end off the headpins and cut to the length you want (slightly longer than each bead).
Bend the pin 90 degrees then using the pliers - loop in the opposite direction, to form a link on either side of the bead.
Then join the beads and chain together (by slightly opening the links to connect - don't forget to close them) in whatever combination you like and add your charms in too.
Add the clasp and look at the cute bracelet you just made!
What I love about these bracelets is that you can adjust them along the chain to what ever length you want, leaving a decorative length of chain free.
Cute right? And easy enough to make more than one!!!

Cuteness, and Aldi had bead packs on special, I let Elizabeth pick a pack for each of us. I think I might make it a bit longer for an anklet. This will be perfect, didn't think about the pliers have to see what jules has. Feel better soon xoxoxo
