Project details:

Inspired by a carefree, breezy day at the beach, I paired an assortment of pearls with silk chiffon ribbon, gold chain, & seed beads to create this layered anklet (or it can easily be worn as a bracelet as well!)

↓ Step-by-step

↓ Buy the supplies

Supplies you’ll need:

Silk chiffon Ribbon
Assorted 11/0 Seed Beads
Beading Needles
Gold Ribbon Crimp Ends
Gold round wire cable chain
Gold rollo chain
Potato pearls
Petal pink biwa pearl coin
Petal pink rice pearls
Super glue
Gold Headpins
Gold Lobster Clasps
Gold Jump Rings
C-Lon White Size AA Thread

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Begin with your desired length of rollo chain. Slide the ribbon through the first chain link & tie a knot. Secure with a drop of glue. Weave the ribbon in & out of the chain links until you've reached the end. Tie another knot at the end, and secure with a drop of glue. Finish by attaching a jump ring & lobster clasp.

Step 2

For the second anklet, I made bead charms with the pearls & attached them directly to the chain. Finish with a jump ring & lobster clasp.

Step 3

For the last anklet (or bracelet), slide the ends of the ribbon into a crimp end with a bit of glue, and use pliers to clamp down. Attach a jump ring to one end, and a lobster clasp to the other end. Next, using the c-lon thread & a collapsible beading needle, sew on the rice pearls & seed beads. Place a small drop of glue at the ends of the thread to secure.
