Amazonite And Opal Beading Chain Bracelet
Make this gorgeous, sophisticated beading chain bracelet in no time at all! We used our beautiful Chinese Amazonite, Peruvian Opal and Silver Heishi beads in this project but you could easily customise it by choosing your own beads or even adding a pretty charm. This project will yield a bracelet approximately 19cm in length, but you can trim the chain to your desired length if needed.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add a crimp with loop to one end of the beading chain, squeeze the central band of the tube gently with snipe nose pliers.
2. Thread on the beads.
3. Add a crimp with loop to the other side of the beading chain and secure in place. (Trim off excess chain if needed before adding the crimp)
4. Use snipe nose pliers to open the loop on the bolt ring clasp and attach it to the crimp loop before closing.
5. Fasten the bracelet and your design is complete!
You could also use these exact steps and supplies to create a necklace. We recommend at least 40cm length but you could make it longer or shorter based on your preference.
