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 National Crafting Month. Happy National Crafting Month!
