Anklets are set to be HOT in the summer months. Here’s one to add to your accessories collection.

According to this article, anklets are set to be the jewelry item that defines summer in 2019. This anklet is sparkly and summery, perfect for evening drinks or beach holidays!
You will need the following tools and materials to make your beaded anklet:
1: Pliers. You’ll need flat nose pliers and round nose pliers.


2: Eye pins.

3: Two jump rings.

4: A lobster clasp.

5: Two head pins.

6: Beads. I used some blue faceted plastic beads recycled from an old necklace, some glass seed beads and some other blue glass feature beads.



Follow these steps to make your beaded anklet:
1: Add beads to the pins and loop the tops. Attach each charm using the end loops to form a chain.





3: Continue making these charms and attaching them in a pattern until your chain is long enough to fit comfortably around your ankle.

4: Add a jump ring to one end of the chain and add the lobster clasp.

5: Add the remaining jump ring to the other side of the chain.

6: At this stage your anklet is ready to wear, but you can perform these extra steps to add some extra charms.
7: Add beads to the two head pins.

8: Curl the tops of the pins using the round nose pliers.


10: Add the charms to the jump ring that attaches the clasp to the anklet. Close the jump ring to secure the charms in place.


Now your anklet is finished with some cute little charms! How adorable is this design? Why not make a whole bunch and have a #ankleparty 😉
