Here’s a tutorial on how to make a basic chain bracelet, for your very own DIY bracelet arm party. I like the look of colors of the crazy circus arm, with friendship bracelets, chain bracelets, rhinestones and bangles, but sometimes it’s nice to have just a simple, basic bracelet to throw on. The good thing is, this chain bracelet stands alone well, or can serve as a foundation to a crazy arm circus. And, the technique is simple, and you can apply it to any chain you find, so you can make all kinds of different styles.

DIY Chain Bracelet Tutorial

Materials

chain, either online or vintage from thrift stores or ebay; cut to the length of your arm

Attach a jumpring to one of the chain by using your pliers. Make sure you twist the jumpring open; don’t pull the two ends out.

On the other end of the chain, attach your clasp with your jumpring.
