Name charm bracelet

Sometimes we want to show someone just how much we love them by making a personalised gift from the heart.
Today we have a very easy but none the less delightful design that you can make up in an hour or two and enjoy the look of delight when you present it to that special lady in your life be it your mum, sister, daughter or friend.

Materials.

• length of chain to fit
  (we used sterling silver figure 8 chain)
• clasp
  (we used small sterling toggle set)
• two jump rings
  (we used sterling snapeez 6mm)
• charms, letter and others
  (we used small hanging letter charms)
• head pins (number will depend on the amount of bead charms you want to make, ours are 12 sterling 24 gauge)
• beads (we used fresh water pearls and 4 mm Swarovski crystal bicones)

Tools:

• side cutters
• round nose pliers
• chain nose pliers

Measure your chain allowing for the clasp, the easiest way is to attach one part of the clasp with a jump ring onto the end of the chain then semi attach the other half not quite closing the jump ring along the chain. Move if it is too short or long and close the jump ring when you have the correct length, this is where an EZ bracelet sizer comes in handy.

Space out your charms, our hanging charms have bolt clasps attached making it easy, your charm may need extra jump rings to attach it.

Next make up some bead charms and attach with a wrapped loop, see instructions on wrapping a loop.

Now you have your personalised gift and even though it was quick to make it doesn’t come any less from the heart.
