Jump Ring Chain Bracelet

Ok so yesterday I showed you how to make a jump ring chain, well I made mine into a bracelet and attached the pendant I made the other day to it!

DIY Jump Ring Chain

I am going to show you how to make a jump ring chain! It's super easy, really it really is...you're gonna say "wow, really that's it??" ok so you are going to need...

Materials:

•  wire (I got mine at the hardware store)
• round nosed pliers
• wire cutters
• pencil (I used a colored pencil)

wrap your wire around your pencil. try to wrap it as tightly as possible

when you have the desired amount of loops you can cut the wire so that it lines up with the cut end at the top

then just cut each ring and ta-da! you now have jump rings!

now you can connect your rings together and make a necklace or a bracelet or key chain or....whatever your little heart desires! you can make different sized rings just by finding different things to wrap your wire around, for example the end of a wooden spoon!

Wire Wrapped Pendant

Can you tell i've been trying new things with wire?? I guess you can say i've gone wire wrapped crazy! I bought some glass pendants at Walmart that were on sale and wrapped some copper wire around the top of one of them and voila! You have a much cuter pendant to put on your chain necklace! I think that the copper wire brings out the copper in the glass. And all I used was some pliers, copper wire, and a pendant.

Set In Look Wire Wrapped Ring

I was looking through some jewelry books at my local craft sore and I came across something really similar to this and I just had to try this. I think that I did pretty good for my first attempt. I love the copper wire with the copper that's in the bead, it's so sparkly! Love it!

DIY Chain Bracelet

I came across a picture of a similar bracelet on Pinterest and I thought, "hey, I can make one!". So I went to Walmart and bought some chain, a strand of rhinestones, ,and some leather cord (I already had the white cording). All in all I think I spent about $7 and have enough to make another one. I didn't take pictures of every step but I hope I can walk you through it it's very simple, I promise!

Materials:

• two pieces of chain the length that it takes to go around your wrist
• one strand of rhinestones the same length as your chain
• enough leather cording so you can weave it in and out of one of the chains
• enough white cording so you can wrap around the rhinestones
• clasps of your choice
• two jump rings
• two rhinestone end clasps
• pliers

(The clasps, jump rings, and the end clasps for the rhinestone strand all came with the chain and rhinestone strand that I bought.)

I weaved the leather cording through one of the chain pieces then I laid all three pieces next to each other and then took my white cording and started to wrap the rhinestone strand to both pieces of chain. Then tie a knot on both of the cords and then using pliers open up the jump rings and put one on each end and put in your closures in  and using your pliers again close the jump rings and ta da! You have a cool new bracelet!
