I was watching this video from B’sue Boutiques the other day and really liked the chain bracelets she makes at the beginning using leftover lengths of chain. I set out to make something like that, but I picked chain that was too delicate and ended up putting an amber glass connector with it. I liked it, but I wanted more heft, so I decided to make another one so I could stack them together.
In the second bracelet, I used a very cute red flower that came with a muse pack from Smitten Beads. The one with the spiral hook gives me fits trying to get it on, but I think I’ll get better at it. They do look good together.
One thing I liked from the video is the suggestion to double jump ring things. Not only does this provide extra security, but it really looks more like a design element than just a connection point. I did put two black rubber rings near the little red dangles in the above picture. I should have used it more, but even though I was “listening” to the video (clearly, not very well) while I was making the bracelets, I forgot about it until the end.

Those are cute…great way to use leftover chain, too! Not sure if this link will work (I am on my IPad which gives me fits sometimes), but use a paper clip to put those bracelets on with ease!

Thank you for reminding me about that tip! The link does work. I think that will be the perfect way to get that swirly hook bracelet on.
