The bracelet measures just over 7 inches when finished, if you want it longer, simply cut a slightly longer length of charm chain to begin with. The necklace just uses whatever length of charm chain is left so do not worry about ordering more charm chain if you choose to make your bracelet a little longer.
- To make the bracelet, cut 5 inches of charm chain. Also open and remove the jump ring connecting the lobster clasp to your chain extender. Open a 4mm jump ring from your findings pack and link it to the end of the charm chain as well as the lobster clasp. Close the jump ring.
- On the other side of the bracelet open another 4mm jump ring and connect it to the end charm chain link as well as the extender chain. Close the jump ring.
- Open a 3rd jump ring and link it to one single oak leaf charm (some should be loose at this point from the first cut of your chain) and also the end chain link of your extender chain. Close the jump ring. All done with the bracelet!
- Next, make the earrings. Cut a 2 inch length of charm chain. Onto one end open and attach a 6mm jump ring and link onto this jump ring an Austrian crystal crystal sun pendant. Close the jump ring. Onto the other end open and link an earring hook. Close the loop at the base of the hook.
- Repeat the previous step to make your other earring.
- For the necklace, find the midway point of your premade chain - cut the middle link so you now have two equal chain lengths with the clasp between them. Onto each end chain link, open and connect a 4mm jump ring as well as the end chain links of your remaining charm chain. Make sure to close the jump rings.
- All done with the entire set!
