 By The Sea Charm Bracelet
Designed by Ashley Bunting
A charm bracelet with a twist. Here is a new spin on a classic charm bracelet. Use jumbo jump rings to add shape and size to an otherwise simple chain. Our sea glass beads are so easy to design with. Mix and match colors the matte finish and irregular shapes off the sea glass ties all the multicolored beads together.
Step 1: Make the sea glass dangles. Do this by placing the beads on a head pin and turning a loop. Make five indicolite beach stone dangles, five moss pendant drop dangles, and ten mint round dangles. Make five olivine heishi dangles with three beads per dangle.
Step 2: Cut four lengths of chain that are five links long. Feed one length of chain onto one jump ring (this is a tight fit and may take a bit of finagling). On to the jump ring feed one indicolite, one moss, one olivine and two mint dangles. Separate the dangles so three hang to one side of the jump ring and two hang to the other. Slide another chain length onto the jump ring. Repeat until there are five jump rings separated by four lengths of chain.
Step 3: Make and attach the clasp. Use another jump ring to form the clasp. Using round-nose pliers grasp the jump ring next to the end of one side. Bend the ring backwards to form an "S" shape. Grasp the other side of the ring and bend it out slightly. Pinch the clasp to make the large part of the "S" more oval shaped. Attach the to last ring on one side of the bracelet.
The End!
