For just a few dollars you can make this super chic chain bracelet! (actually, it could also be a necklace, belt, purse handles, anything!)
To make this cute wrap-around bracelet, you will need:
About a half metre of medium sized chain - (one you can feed ribbon in and out of, if you can't find a good one at your local hardware or craft store, a new dog chain would work perfectly)
About metre of ribbon (more or less depending on how many times you want the bracelet to wrap around your wrist)
Some pliers or wire cutters.
Step 1. Cut the chain to the length you want it. I did mine about a half metre long.
Step 2. Thread the ribbon through the first chain link, leaving a 15cm tail.
Step 3. Secure it onto the first chain link with a regular knot.
Step 4. Weave the ribbon in and out of the chain until you reach the end.
Like this:
Step 5. Tie another knot in the ribbon, around the end of last chain link.
Step 6. Leave a tail of ribbon 15cm at this end of the chain too.
Step 7. Wrap around your wrist 2-3 times and get a friend to help you secure it onto your wrist with a cute bow.
Step 8. Show off your creation to everyone you know!
So this is a great way to make some cute jewelry for a gift, or just something fun to do when you are bored, and it will only cost a couple of dollars to make. Then, with any left over chain and ribbon, you can make necklaces, belts, etc.
