This is soooooooooooo easy. The hardest thing to do is to gather your supplies… and those are not many. After that, all you really need to learn to do is open a split ring.
What You Will Need
Tools:
(2) Pliers – I prefer a pair of needle nose and a bent nose – Any pliers that DON’T cut will work. I bet you’ll find some around your house or garage.
Supplies: - You can get these on Ebay- REAL Cheap or Buy with a coupon at local craft store
Note: Some sellers on Ebay will sell you a (lot) of 20 or even 50 charms for as little as $.99
(1) 6 – 8 inch Blank Charm Bracelet
(2) Small Split Rings - 5mm
(7-9) Large Split Rings – 8mm
(7-9) Large Split Rings – 8mm
(7-9) Charms of your chose
(1) Lobster Clasp - Note : Toggles work best if you know the exact size of a persons wrist
(1) Very Small chain about a half an inch in length – (optional)
Instructions:
Grab the two ends of your charm bracelet and bring them together so that you can find the middle. This is where you will put your first charm. It helps keep things balanced.
Grab one large split ring with your two pliers (one on each side) and twist with one of the pliers towards you and with the other away from you until you “split the ring” open.
Insert your biggest charm into the split ring and then insert the split ring with the charm in it into the middle chain link on your bracelet. With your two pliers close the split ring back up. .. Repeat this with all your other large split rings and charms until you have no more large split rings or charms.
Then grab a small split ring – split it open. Insert your lobster clasp into the split ring and then insert the split ring with the clasp in it into the last (end of right or left side) chain link on your bracelet. With your two pliers close the split ring back up.
Grab a small split ring – split it open. Insert your tiny chain (the extender). Then insert your split ring with the extender in it into the opposite end (the very last) chain link on your bracelet. Close the split ring
Optional: Open the last chain link on your extender in the same way that you opened the split rings and add a tiny charm or a bead. Close the link.
