Making a Bracelet into a Necklace (National Crafting Month)
In March, you can work
on your favorite crafts and learn new crafts. The entire month of March is devoted
to making crafts for decorating your home, your clothes, and wall décor. There
are five distinct types of crafts such as textile crafts, paper crafts,
decorative crafts, fashion crafts, and functional crafts. What makes crafts so
fascinating are the techniques and the types of materials that are used to
create artwork, fashion apparel, and items for decorative purposes. Today's tutorial is about making a bracelet into a necklace.
Materials:
One bangle bracelet with charms
One long gold chain
Jewelry pliers
Jewelry/ wire cutters
Jump rings
Lobster clasp
Begin by measuring how
long you want the chain necklace to be. Use a jewelry cutter to cut the length
of the chain. Next, remove a charm from your bangle bracelet with jewelry
pliers. Insert a jump ring to both ends of the chain and insert the charm into
the chain with jewelry pliers. Repeat the same step by adding another jump ring
to the other side of the chain to connect the letter charm to the chain.
Close the jump rings
with jewelry pliers. Using the leftover chain from the necklace, you can create
a simple chain bracelet to go with the necklace. Use one lobster clasp and two
jump rings to create your chain bracelet. Below are links about more ideas for
