Follow these steps to make your necklace out of bracelets:

1: Unclip the ends of your bracelet.

2: Latch one of the bracelet clasps to the other end of the other bracelet, you will have a long strand now.

3: If you are adding a charm, slip it onto the clasp at the other end of the strand you just made.

4: Clip the ends of the strand together to form a choker, you can wear it with the charm at the front like this or without the charm for a mixed material effect.

And here’s what it looks like without the charm.
