Does Your Wrist Need Something Pretty and New? Here's How to Make a Beaded Chain Bracelet

If you’ve already tried your hand at the beaded chain necklace tutorial you will notice that the steps for making this pretty beaded chain bracelet are very similar. Using chain allows you to create simple, delicate pieces that you can wear alone or stacked high with your other DIY jewelry creations. Take a few moments out from your day to make this beautiful beaded bracelet, as a present for someone special or maybe as a treat for yourself this festive season.

You will need the following tools and materials to make this beaded chain bracelet:

1: Pliers. To make this bracelet you will need your round nose pliers, flat nose pliers and cutting pliers.

2: Head pins.

3: Chain.

4: Beads of your choice. I used these gold colored enamel beads that feature a floral design.

The Steps:

1: Slide each bead onto a head pin.

2: Take each pin and using the round nose pliers, bend it at a right angle to the bead.

3: Use the round nose pliers again to create a loop and secure the bead onto the pin.

4: Once you have completed steps 1 to 3 for each bead, take your chain and count 5 links.

Open the 6th link and separate the pieces of chain.

5: Open one side of the first bead charm and slide the chain into the loop. Close it again using pliers.

6: Return to the other piece of chain and slide the open link onto the other side of the bead charm. Close the chain using your pliers.

7: Count three chain links and repeat steps 4 to 6. Continue in this pattern until all your beads have been added to the chain.

8: Count another 5 links from the last bead you added. Open the 6th link and remove the excess chain.

9: Take one end of the chain and slide an open jump ring through the end link. Close the jump ring again with your pliers.

10: Open a chain link at the other end of the bracelet, slide the lobster clasp onto the link and secure it in place by closing the link with your pliers.

11: Now your bracelet is finished! Put it on and wear it with pride. I love the sense of satisfaction I get knowing that I have made my own unique accessories.
