I was asked by some online friend for directions on how to make the brad bracelets that I posted back in February. They are light weight, comfortable to wear, pretty, and super easy to make.

Start with some chain... I got a card of this chain from Michael's. There was about 4' of chain; enough for 5-6 bracelets.

Cut a length of chain big enough for a bracelet (Mine are 13-15 links long) and use a couple of jump rings to add a clasp.

Gather two flower charms (use wire cutters to carefully snip off the loop and file it smooth), a couple of small brads, an three large decorative brads (only one pictured). I purchased a package of
Basic Grey brads and it contained everything I needed. They have them in the CP store
HERE. There are enough brads in one package to make 4 braceletes.
I found the flower charms on eBay by searching for "silver flower charms." There are lots of different styles to chose from.

Thread the small brads through the charms and through a bracelt loop.

The tines of the brads are soft and easy to work with. Use needle nose pliers to wrap the tine around the loop and tuck it under.


Now do the same with the big brads. The tines on the big brads are longer. Trim them shorter with wire cutters before wrapping them around the loop.

And that's it... so easy!
