Do you have some string sitting in your kitchen drawers? Why not turn it into a braided charm bracelet?

Here’s how to turn some household string into a cool braided charm bracelet! This bracelet is super easy to make and looks great with a casual summer outfit!

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

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

2: Two crimp ends.

3: Three pieces of string. Cut each to approximately 25cm (9.8 inches) long.

4: Two jump rings.

5: One large jump ring.

6: A clasp. I used this screw clasp.

7: Charms of your choice. I used this polymer clay charm and a wire charm that used to be an earring.

Follow these steps to make your bracelet:

1: Hold the ends of the three strings together and add a crimp end to secure them together. Add the crimp by folding it around the strings, squashing the sides down using the flat nose pliers as pictured.

2: Braid the strings until the bracelet reaches comfortably around your wrist.

3: Trim the strings using your cutting pliers or a pair of scissors.

4: Add the other crimp end to the end of the braid.

5: Add a jump ring to either side of the bracelet and attach the screw clasp, closing the jump rings to secure the clasp in place.

6: Add the charms to the large jump ring.

7: Add the large jump ring with the charms attached to one of the jump rings next to the clasp. Close the large jump ring to secure the charms to the bracelet.

Now that your charms are attached your fun summer beaded bracelet is finished!
