Like chains and beads? Why not mash them together to make this bead chain bracelet?

This bracelet uses wire and beads to make big loops that you then turn into a bracelet! This cute design is perfect for wearing with summer outfits.

You’ll need these tools and materials to make your bracelet:

1: Pliers. I used cutting pliers, flat nose pliers and round nose pliers.

2: Some pieces of soft wire. I used eight pieces approximately 9cm long, but you may want to use more or less depending on the size of your wrist. My final bracelet was a little on the small size.

Follow these steps to make your chain bracelet:

1: Take one of the pieces of wire and create a loop at one end using the round nose pliers. Do this by bending approx. 1cm of wire to form a right angle and then loop it around the round nose pliers.

2: Add beads to the wire leaving 1cm unbeaded.

3: Create another loop at the other end of the wire.

4: Bend the beaded wire into a circle shape.

5: Open one of the end loops and thread it through the other end loop. Close it to create a closed circle.

6: Make another loop, but before closing it as you did in step 5, thread it through the first loop you made. Once it is threaded through you can close it.

7: Continue steps 1-6 until you have created all your links.

8: Take one of the end loops and rotate it so that the end loops face outward. Attach one of the jump rings and one side of the toggle clasp.

9: Attach the other side of the toggle clasp to the other end of the bracelet chain using the remaining jump ring.

Now your bracelet is finished!

Here’s another one I made using green glass beads and soft thin wire.
