Sunburst Bracelet
About this design:
I wanted to mix a few colorful chains together to create a fun summer bracelet and show off the colorful enamel teardrop. You could even make this design longer to create a necklace.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
You will need: - 7" of each style of chain (I used 3 styles) - 2 jump rings - 1 enamel teardrop 8x14mm - 1 lobster clasp
Additional Images:
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Measure your wrist to see how much chain you need. Trim the chain as needed. Slide the jump ring through the end loops of the seed bead and cobalt enamel chains. On the sun chain, cut the last jump ring off and slide the jump ring through the bar hole. Repeat this process on the other end. |
|
Step 2: Attach your clasp to the jump ring. Use an oval jump ring to attach your teardrop onto the main jump ring. |

Melody F says:I did think it was a necklace! It would be a very pretty one. Maybe remove the center drop from the chain and replace it with larger blue one, and put the clasp in back.
