Step 1
This simple bracelet is created using jewellery findings, bracelet clasps and jewellery pliers.
Step 2
To create a simple findings bracelet, connect a length of findings that will fit around your wrist.
Step 3
I then added my bracelet clasps to connect and create the full bracelet, however; as I later learn, the bracelet may be shortened when the thread / fabric is woven through the findings, so do not add the bracelet clasps at this stage as more findings may need to be added.
Step 4
The thread / fabric that you weave through the findings can be several thin cords, threads or beaded threads or something large, such as a length of fabric or a friendship bracelet. I chose some muted suede cord - if you can, keep your thread uncut, so that none is wasted, but if you are buying especially for a DIY like this, buy at least 2 rounds of your wrist.
Step 5
Start weaving the thread through the findings...
Step 6
....until the length of the bracelet was complete, keeping the findings straightened as I went along, rather than allowing them to bunch.
Step 7
Testing the length of the bracelet, I added any extra needed, using the jewellery pliers to remove the bracelet clasps and add the extra findings.
Step 8
To finish the bracelet, I added clamps to neaten the finish and secure the cord.
Step 9
Add the clamp in line with the furthest the last finding will reach - the finding and claps of the clamp should align. Clamp the cord securely
Step 10
Trim the cord and remove any excess with scissors and a craft knife to neaten the finish. Add the bracelet clasp to connect through the finding and clamp.
Step 11
Repeat this on the opposite side and the simple bracelet is complete.
Step 12
Create different effects by changing the colours used, textures and sizes of findings.
Step 13
These look great stacked.
