Dog Lover Charm Bracelet Instructions Designed by Cynthia Kimura
This charm bracelet is a step away from the ordinary! With so many dangles, this is a very busy piece. As complicated as it looks, it's actually quite simple to construct. Use the charms that we did, or use ones of your own choosing to personalize this bracelet to your individual style.
Step one: Cut 7 1/2 inches of polyester chain, more or less depending on wrist size, and attach clasp to one end using an open jump ring. Connect an open jump ring to the other end to attach the clasp to when the bracelet is completed.
Step two: To create the scroll bead dangles, string a Swarovski round, a pewter spacer, the scroll bead, another pewter spacer and another Swarovski round on a sterling silver head pin. Using a Wrapped Loop attach the dangle to an open jump ring, attach these dangles to the bracelet via the jump ring and trim any excess wire.
Step three: Using the same wrapped loop technique, attach the Swarovski modular beads to the bracelet with open jump rings. Now attach your charms across the bracelet with open jump rings. Get playful with your design and organize the charms in any way that is appealing to you. You may find it helpful to use a Chain Stä Tool to hold the bracelet in place while you work.
